“Stock Carters’ Avalanche. —When on a visit to Mr. Pettigrew, The Castle Gardens, 
Cardiff, I met with much to admire, and in particular was greatly impressed with the beauty of four 
circular beds, measuring io feet across, wholly planted with Avalanche Stock. I have never seen 
anything of the kind to equal that display of white Stocks, and quickly arrived at the conclusion that 
it was one of the good things I had missed hitherto. The seed was sown in gentle heat early in 
February, and the plants duly prepared in boxes for moving into beds some time in May. When I 
saw them, about the third week in July, they were a mass of bloom. Large numbers had been cut, 
boxes were filled with spikes while 1 was there, and yet no serious gap appeared anywhere. Mr. 
Pettigrew speaks highly of it for pot culture. If the seed is sown early in the autumn the plants 
will flower in an ordinary greenhouse during March and April.”—W. Iggulden, in Journal of 
Horticulture.
