STOCKS • Gilliflower 
One of the most popular annuals, for either bedding or pot-culture. Sow in spring, 
either in boxes or in open ground, and when transplanting to where they are in¬ 
tended to flower, care should be taken not to discard the smaller seedlings, which 
usually produce the best double flowers, the large coarse plants being often all 
singles. 
Cut'and'Come'Again 10-Weeks’ Stocks

and send up numerous long spikes of fragrant double flowers in continuous suc¬
