:WALL FLOWER.: 



The large, massive spikes of the Wall Flower are very conspicuous 

 in beds and borders, and very useful in making bouquets. Sow the seed 

 early in hot-beds, and while the plants are small prick them out into 

 pots, and sink the pots in the earth. On approach of cold weather re- 

 move the pots to the house and they will bloom all winter. Tender 

 perennial, one and a-half feet high.

 fragrant double flowers; shadings of chocolate brown and 

 orange purple. Pkt., 5c.

 spikes of large florets in a number of distinct shadings and 

 many brightly marked. Pkt., 5c. 



Verbenas. 



One of the best known and most 

 satisfactory flowers to raise either for its 

 splended display in the garden or for 

 cutting purposes. By sowing the seed 

 very early under glass and transplanting 

 when three or four inches high, good 

 vigorous plants may be raised which will 

 bloom most abundantly in July, and con- 

 tinue until killed by frost. As a rule, 

 Verbenas grown from seed are gathered 

 from the choicest flowers, and are strong 

 and true to name.
