HOW TO START STOCKS 
Fill a 5 or 6 inch clay pot with 2 inches of peat moss in the bottom, then sandy loam to within 
1 inch of the top. Scatter the seeds of one packet of Stocks on top, press into the soil, shake a 
little fine sand over them. Set the pot in a vessel of water, submerging it two-thirds. When 
moisture has soaked to the surface remove the pot and set in a cool place. Soon as the seeds 
sprout, move to the sun again setting pot in water when necessary to keep thoroughly moist. 
When plants are 3 inches high, tap ball of earth out, break it and set plants 6 inches apart in 
the garden. (Other seeds may also be started this way.)

BASE BRANCHING STOCKS 




HALLAWELL’S BASE BRANCHING STOCKS 
These are the new base branching Stocks that branch close to the ground and grow many long 
spikes bearing from 35 to 45 individual florets measuring 2 inches or more in diameter. They 
are particularly good for cut flowers; spikes may be removed and the plant still makes a fine 
show in the garden. 
Set them close together, then remove the plants of single flowers if you want a good showing 
of doubles. 
Our Stocks are selected to produce about 75% doubles and the remainder will be single. This 
is a very high percentage of doubles. 
Stocks do not like wet feet so plant them where they will have deep moisture with good drainage.
