Gilliflower 
Half-hardy Annuals. Flower garden. 2 to 2% feet. 
One of the most popular of old-fashioned gar- 
den annuals. Deliciously fragrant flowers on 
clustered spikes, in a wide variety of delicate 
shades. Stocks enjoy a well enriched soil which 
has been thoroughly limed. They thrive best in

in a particularly warm situation, fully exposed 
to the heat of the Midsummer sun.

Stock ever introduced to American gardens. 
Plants grow quickly, come into bloom early, 
and continue to flower until cut down by a 
hard freeze. The flowers are double, of delicate 
apricot-pink and cream.
