Hendersons Mammoth Verbenas. 



This distinct and beautiful race we originated, introduced and named. The 

 average trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in circumference and the individual florets 

 on properly crown plants over 1 inch across — or larger than a 25c. silver piece. 

 They bloom freely, are vigorous in growth, and contain beautiful new colors and 

 shades. For garden l)e>ls or massing these Verbenas are unrivaled; flowers of the 

 most brilliant colors produced continually from spring until late in the autumn. 

 Although perennials, these form luxuriant plants and bloom the first season from 

 seed. (See cut.)

NEW LARGE-FLOWERING HYBRIDS. 

 (Viola cornuta grandiflora hybrida.) 



This new and improved strain produces beautiful pansy-like blossoms, 2 to 2Va 

 inches across, of great substance and of most brilliant colors, including white, lemon, 

 orange, claret, crimson, maroon, lavender, purple, silver-gray, rose, black, blue, 

 etc., also fancy varieties tinted, striped, blotched, feathered', pirotee-edged, etc. 

 The plants are hardy, of vigorous growth, forming deop-rooting, compact tufted 

 clumps. Planted in masses or line-, they form perfect mats covered with myriads 

 of flowers from spring until cold weather. They are more perennial in character 

 than 1'ansies, throwing out new roots annually, adapting them to permanent beds, 

 \ edgings, etc. The flowers are borne on long stems which shoot up like those of 



\ the violet directly from the roots, which accounts for their continuous bloom for 



nine months in the year. Many of them are as highly scented as the sweetest violet.

HENDERSON'S MAMMOTH VERB! \ Uj 



WALL FLOWER. 



These old European favorites are not as much grown and appre- 

 ciated in this country as they deserve, due, no doubt, to the fact 

 that they are scarcely hardy in very cold locations, but in sheltered 

 locations with protection they winter safely in Northern States, 

 though, perhaps, it is better to sow the seed annually in spring, 

 and winter the young plants over in the cold frame. They are 

 worth the trouble, making nice bushv plants IVi feet high, bearing 

 in the spring long spikes of most dehciously fragrant Bowers of 

 Tarious colors, crimson, purple, yellow, apricot, mahogany, pink, etc.
