STOCKS, Gilliflower (a) Grp. 4 
These popular flowers are. easily 
grown, are so highly fragrant, and of 
such great beauty that they deserve a 
place in every garden. The Early Giant 
Imperial class are half-hardy annuals.

spring will bloom the same year. Valu- 
able for winter forcing. In California 
Stocks are popular winter annuals.

Weeks. A wonderful strain for bedding. 
Pkt. 10ce.

class in season of bloom. The plants are 
pyramidal in shape, branching above the 
base. Excellent for bedding and cutting. 
Height, 16 inches. 
Finest Mixed Colors. Pkt. 15c.

posing spikes of large flowers make this 
the outstanding variety. It is about as 
early as Beauty of Nice and resembles 
it in habit, except that the plant is less 
spreading and taller. Height, 2 feet. 
Finest Mixed Colors. Pkt. 15c.

rant toward evening. They are especially 
sweet after a rain. Pkt. 10c.

of all Everlastings. They make unusu- 
ally fine winter bouquets if cut when 
partially opened and dried slowly in a 
dry place, heads downward to keep the 
long stems straight. The centers of the 
double pompon-like flowers are nearly 
covered by the stiff overlapping petals.

THE NEW CUTHBERTSON SWEET 
PEA 
The new Cuthbertson strain is the 
greatest development in Sweet Peas for 
many years. Heat and drought no longer 
spell the end to the Sweet Peas in the 
garden. Where other types do not per- 
form well, Cuthbertson’s are the answer. 
They are very rugged, producing tre- 
mendous blooms on long stems and are 
ten days earlier than Spencers. 
Cuthbertson Sweet Peas are now avail- 
able in a complete color range, and since 
they are vigorous under all conditions, 
they will make a nice showing where the 
Spencer types cannot be _ favorably 
grown.

lent range of 25 to 30 colors, well bal 
anced. Pkt. 15c.
