Malcomia maritima, R. Br. VIRGINIAN STOCK. MAHON STOCK. Figs. 2305, 2306. St. erect, branching: lvs. elliptic, obtuse, entire, narrowed at the base, pubescence appressed, 2—4-parted: pedicels rather shorter than the calyx; fls. shades of lilac and red to white, the limb veined: pods pubescent, long-acuminate at the apex. Medit. region. B.M. 166 (as Cheiranthus maritimus, showing red fls., changing to purple before fading). J.H. III. 59:30.—It is a charming hardy annual of the easiest cult, growing about a foot high, with a more branching and open habit than the common stock (Matthiola), and 4-petaled fls. each about ¾ in. across. Red, white and crimson-fid. kinds are offered in Amer., while rose and lilac fls. appear in the mixtures. There seem to be no double forms. It is an excellent plant for the front of a border, as it may be easily had in bloom from spring to fall by means of successional sowings. Seeds are best sown in the fall, as they give earlier bloom. Seeds may be sown thinly. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
