AeM STOCKS 
Sow the seeds of stocks in flats or cold frame and transplant to the garden 
when they are 2 to 3 inches high. For winter bloom in Southern California they 
require sun and well-drained soil and should be planted in July or August. In heavy 
soil, plant them on a slight ridge, permitting the water to drain from them during 
the rainy season. A & M Stocks are selected to produce an average of 75% plants 
bearing double flowers. For a mass of all double flowers, set close together and 
remove the single flowered plants when first flowers appear. Stocks are an out¬ 
standing garden favorite because of their delicately colored spikes and fascinating 
penetrative odor.
