STOCKS - Gilliflower 
The best way to grow these plants success- 
fully, is to start the seed indoors early, in boxes 
or pots, and transplant to the garden when 
danger of frost is past. If you can’t do this, 
sow the seed outdoors in the garden early, in 
a rich, rather light loam soil, mixed with peat 
moss and well-rotted manure. Stocks require 
cool growing weather to blossom well.
