STOCKS Sunflower. See Helianthus. 
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 blcom 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, permit- 
ting the water to drain from them during the rainy season. Our stocks 
are selected to produce an average of 75 per cent 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.
