STOCKS 
Ciliflower (Annual) 
Their deliciously-scented flowers are borne in 
branching spikes on velvety-leaved plants. The 
secret of growing good Stocks in the garden 
IS to start the seed early indoors, prick the seed¬ 
lings into tiny pots, and keep them growing 
rapidly until they can be set outdoors in the 
richest possible soil.
