STOCKS, Gilliflower (a) Grp. 4 
These popular flowers are easily 
. §rown, 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. 
Stocks are biennials, but if sown in early 
spring will bloom the same year. Valu- 
able for winter forcing. In California 
Stocks are popular winter annuals. 
Double Large Flowering Dwarf Ten 
Weeks. A wonderful strain for bedding. 
Pkt. 10c. 
Beauty of Nice. It follows the Ten Weeks 
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. 
STOCKS, GIANT IMPERIAL 
GIANT IMPERIAL. Long stems and im- 
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. 
EVENING SCENTED STOCKS 
(a) Grp. 3 
Matthiola Bicornis. The flowers are 
small, mauve colored, similar to the Vir- 
ginian Stocks but are delightfully frag- 
rant toward evening. They are especially 
sweet after a rain. Pkt. 10c. 
STRAWFLOWER or 
IMMORTELLE 
HELICHRYSUM (a) Grp. 2. The finest 
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. 
A wide range of brilliant and soft colors. 
Height, to 3 feet. Finest Mixed. Pkt. 10c. 
SUNFLOWER 
Helianthus (a) Grp. 2 
Sun Gold. New. Large double flowers 
of brilliant golden yellow. Free flowering. 
Pkt. 10c. 
Red Sunflower. Tall single flowered va- 
riety with bright red blossoms. Pkt. 10e. 
SWEET PEAS 
Sweet Peas are deep rooting and heavy 
feeding plants. We recommend a trench 
to be dug about 18 inches deep and 18 
inches wide. In the bottom fork in about 
6 inches of well-rotted manure. Fill in 
with soil in which is mixed a liberal 
quantity of well-rotted manure. 
Sow the seeds in a trench 6 to § inches 
deep. Cover about 2 inches and fill in the 
trench as the plants grow. Use one ounce 
of seed to 20 feet of row and thin plants 
to 4 or 5 inches apart. Fall sowing gives 
finer flowers and longer stems and a 
slightly longer period of bloom. 
If flowers are kept picked and seed 
prevented from forming more and better 
blooms will be produced. Avoid overhead 
watering as it causes the flower buds to 
drop. 
In California, Early Flowering varie- 
ties are sown about August 1 and 
throughout the winter months. If sown 
in August they will bloom by November. 
Keep the surface of the bed cool by using 
a light mulch.

introductions, all waved and giant

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. 
Cuthbertson’s Mixed Blend. An excel- 
lent range of 25 to 30 colors, well bal- 
anced. Pkt. 15c.
