TEN-WEEK STOCKS, 
Summer-Flowering 
It is usual to sow annual Stocks under glass 
from the middle to the end of March. Sow 
thinly that the plants may become stout, and 
from the first give air freely when practicable. 
Prick off the seedlings into pans or boxes and 
give them the protection of a cold frame. An- 
nual Stocks can also be successfully grown from 
porings made in the open about the end of 
pril.

STREPTOCARPUS 
Tender Perennial 
As a result of many years’ intensive breeding 
we have evolved a new strain of Streptocarpus, 
which will be found as great an advance on the 
old types as the notable improvement we have | 
already achieved in our Triumph strains of Cycla- 
men and Gloxinia. The plants of Sutton’s Tri- 
umph Streptocarpus are extremely floriferous 
and the blooms, which are borne on tall erect 
stems, are much larger than those produced by 
the older varieties. A further merit is the com- 
pact symmetrical habit of the foliage, which 
greatly enhances the decorative value of the 
plants. 
Although a little warmth is appreciated for 
germination of the seeds and during the seed- 
ling stage, this strain will thrive in a lower tem- 
perature than customary for Streptocarpus, and 
plants from January or February sowings will 
bloom freely from July to November and, with 
liberal treatment, during the winter months. If 
grown in well-drained shallow pans, the plants 
quickly form a dense network of roots which 
need regular doses of a suitable manure, such 
as our Simplex Fertilizer. 
4420. Sutton’s Triumph Hybrids 
Per packet 40c 
Flowers of great size. The color range _in- 
cludes the well-known shades of red, rose, sal-
