NOTE: The better strains of Stocks produce from 60 to 65 per 
cent of double flowers when all the plants survive and are 
used. For best results, sow seed thinly to permit uniform 
growth, use plants "as they come,” and set closely enough 
in the beds to permit removal of the singles as they come into 
flower.
