STOCK, TEN-WEEKS. 
The Ten-Weeks or Annual Stock presents nearly or 
•quite all the requisites of a perfect flowering plant—good 
habit, fine foliage, beautiful flow¬ 
ers of almost every desirable tint. 
Seeds of the Stock may be sown 
in the open ground, or in the hot¬ 
bed or cold-frame; but if trans¬ 
planted let this be done when the 
plants are quite small, just out of 
the seed-leaf, or the plants be¬ 
come slender and never make 
good plants nor flower well. A 
little shade trom the hottest sun 
and water in the evening will add much to the siz.-, 
beauty and durability of the flowers. Set a foot apart.
