Intermediate Stocks. 
French, Girofiées d’Automne. Half-hardy annuals. 
From a February or March sowing the Intermediate Stocks usually come 
into flower in July and August, when the Summer or Ten-week varieties are 
losing their freshness, and being more hardy they will continue to bloom, in 
spite of slight frosts, until winter sets in. The plants are extremely robust 
and form broad specimens covering two or three times as much ground 
as the Summer Stocks. The Intermediate class, sown in the autumn and 
wintered in a cold frame, is preferred to Ten-week Stocks by many gardeners 
for summer bedding.

Spring-flowering Stocks. 
French, Giroflées bisannuelles. Hardy biennials. 
Spring-flowering Stocks are sown in June or July to provide plants for 
blooming in the succeeding spring andsummer. On light dry soils they are 
winter-hardy and may be set in flowering positions in the autumn, but on 
heavy soils and in low-lying situations it is safer to winter the plants in a 
cold frame, and put them out as soon as the weather is genial in the early 
months of the year.

Winter-flowering Stocks. 
French, Giroflées a cultiver en pots.  Half-hardy annuals. 
If suitable varieties are chosen, a beautiful show of Stocks may be 
ensured indoors during the winter months with very little trouble, and they 
are well worth growing, were it for their delightful scent alone. Several 
plants should be grown in each pot. These Winter-flowering Stocks are 
admirably suited for the conservatory, and they afford an abundance of long 
spikes for cutting, for which purpose a batch should be grown in reserve. 
The Ten-week varieties can also be grown in pots, as stated on page 141.
