Among the little gardening secrets which the “New Zealand Smallholder” frequently gives out to its readers is one in the January issue, which tells how to get stock seed that grows the much-desired doubles. This information is illustrated with a little picture of two seed stems of stock plants. One bears fairly short, plump seed pods. The other stalk has them long and spindly. The short, plump ones, this magazine says, will usually produce 80 per cent, of plants that give double flowers; the' plants from the long, spindly ones will give 80 per cent, of singles.
