Seed produces about 60 per cent, of double flowers 25 STOCKS. (Mathiola annua.) The Stock is one of the most po)mlar plants, either for bedding, massing, or pot-culture; for brilliancy and diversity of color or profusion and duration of bloom it is unsurpassed. The Ten Week Stocks (Mathiola annua) are generally cultivated, and bloom from ten to twelve weeks after being sown ; they grow from 6 to 18 inches high, and when grown in light, rich soil, and occasionally watered with weak guano water, they bear an immense quantity of bloom, so that each plant forms a perfect bou- quet of delightful fragrance. For early flowering, start the seeds in a greenhouse or hot-bed, and transplant into the garden in May after all danger of frost is over; half- hardy annual. 6610 DAvarf Wallflower Leaved, Mixed. 15 6604 Dwarf Wallflower Leaved.
