CURRIK’S Novelties and 
VERBENA HYBRIDA GRANDIFLORA 
APPLE BLOSSOM 
The florets of this Verbena are almost white, shading to a 
delicate Cameo Pink towards the edge of the petals. A delight- 
ful new color in Verbenas. Individual florets are one and one- 
fourth inches in diameter. The flower head itself measures 4-5 
inches across. The plant normally measures about 2 feet in 
diameter. This Verbena is very fioriferous and comes 99 per 
cent true to color. Pkt., 25c. 
VERBEN A—(Nana Erecta) Violet Bouquet—The plant is eight 
inches high and eight inch¢s in diameter. The color of the flower 
when it first opens is a deep violet tinged with garnet, changing 
to deep violet as the flower gets older. The eye is cream making 
a rich color combination. The diameter of the flower head is two 
and a half to three inches and the individual florets are three- 
fourths inch in diameter. Pkt., 25c. 
VERBENA VENOSA LILACINA 
Lilacina, the new Verbena Venosa variety, has all the desirable 
characteristics of the older Venosa without the drawback of its 
less desirable color. It is a strong grower, about one foot in 
height, perfectly hardy, and very free flowering, being literally 
covered with its many delicate lavender-blue flowers throughout 
the season. Pkt., 20e. 
SCABIOSA BLUE COCKCADE 
This new variety is a pure deep azure blue, the formation of 
Verbena the flower is ahead of other varieties and on account of its depth 
is almost conical in shape, the stems are long, making it an 
excellent cut flower. Pkt., 15c. 
SCABIOSA URSINIA ANETHOIDES 
One of the most charming flowers we have received 
from the Cape. Like most all African natives, it 
likes a sunny place in the garden, and will bloom 
profusely all through the season. The flowers are 
daisylike, single, medium sized, in color brilliant 
Giant Flowered Hybrids 
The new Giant Flowered Hybrids are a great im- 
provement over the ordinary strain in size, form and 
length of stem. The large, round, fully double flowers 
come in a unique color range, including many shades 
not usually found in a Scabiosa mixture. Excellent 
for cutting and for garden decoration. Pkt., 15c. 
VENIDIUM FASTUOSUM— 
(Monarch of the Veldt) 
Of all the flowers recently brought to us from the 
African Veldt, Venidium Fastuosum stands apart as 
the monarch of them all. It has all the qualities 
which makes it an all around favorite for gardens 
and cutting, and will soon be found in everybody’s 
garden. It is easy to grow, likes plenty of sunshine 
and not too much water, is a very robust, fast grower, 
producing flowers within 90 days from seed, and keeps 
on flowering until late in the summer. The flowers 
will keep a week or more in bouquets, the long stem- 
med huge daisy-like flowers make a delightful ar- 
rangement for any setting. Pkt., 20c. 
VENIDIUM FASTUOSUM HYBRIDS 
This new strain of hybrids, are even more attractive 
than the original orange. The plants are free flower- 
ing, two to three feet tall, and blooming over a long 
period. The color range is varied and very interesting 
—apricot shades, creamy white, salmon shades, canary 
yellow, golden yellow and the well-known orange. We 
find that the hybrids stand up much better in extreme 
heat than the original orange, and are thus more use- 
ful in the garden. Pkt., 25c. 
orange with a deep purple center zone, remaining 
open till dusk. They are fine for cutting as well as
