VERBENA BEAUTY OF 

 OXFORD HYBRIDS 



For many years the non- 

 seeding variety, Beauty of Ox- 

 ford, has been a favorite Ver- 

 bena. This new strain is the 

 nearest approach in a seeding 

 variety to the bright deep rose 

 pink shade of Beauty of Oxford. 

 The flowers are large and freely 

 produced on plants which hold 

 their shape well at all times. 

 Pkt., 25c. 



VERBENA HYBRIDA 

 COMPACTA TYPE — 



Edging Verbenas 



These are distinct from all 

 other types of Verbena, very 

 compact, dwarf, and free flower- 

 ing. The color range is very 

 wide, in bright shades. They are 

 excellent for the annual rock 

 garden in a sunny position, for 

 Verbena borders or edgings, or for win- 



dow boxes or pots. Pkt., 15c. 



VERBENA ROYAL BOUQUET MIXED 



As the name suggests, this type is excellent for cutting. The plants are definitely upright in habit, several 10 to 

 12 inch stalks to a plant, each bearing full clusters of the large starry eyed flowers at the tip. They are fine for 

 pot culture, as well as cutting. The colors comprise a full range of the brighter shades. Pkt., 15c. 



SCABIOSA CAUCASICA ISAAC HOUSE 



STRAIN— (Blue Bonnets) 



This is a very greatly improved strain over the 

 ordinary scabiosa caucasica. The flowers are sur- 

 prisingly large, gracefully fringed and ruffled, in 

 shades of blue ranging from very dark shades 

 through the midblues to lavender. During the hot 

 months of June and July, when most flowers look 

 rather wilted from the heat, these hybrids are 

 unaffected by the temperature and make a fine 

 showing in the garden, or for cut flower use. 

 Pkt., 25c. 



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 

 orange with a deep purple center zone, remaining 

 open till dusk. They are fine for cutting as well as 

 in the garden. 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 keep on flowering until late in the sum- 

 mer. The flowers will keep a week or more in 

 bouquets, the long stemmed huge daisy-like flowers 

 making a delightful arrangement for any setting.
