yERBENK. 



For garden beds or massing the Verbena is unrivaled ; flowers of the 

 most brilliant colors, blooming continually from spring until late in 

 the autumn. Although perennials, these form luxuriant plants and 

 bloom profusely the first season from seed.

 trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in circumference, and 

 the individual florets on properly grown plants over 1 

 inch across — or larger than a 25c. silver piece. They 

 bloom freely, are vigorous in growth, and contain all 

 of the beautiful new colors and shades. Mixed 

 colors. (See cut.) io

For gorgeous summer and autumn display there is nothing that can equal in 

 effectiveness the improved dwarf, compact-growing, large-flowering Zinnias ; grow- 

 ing only 2 feet high and bearing flowers of immense size, perfectly double, 

 showing no centre, and as perfect in form as Dahlias. 



Henderson's Zebra. First named and introduced by us. The flowers are 

 perfect in. shape, of all colors, such as orange, crimson, pink, yellow, violet, rose ■ 

 scarlet, white, etc., three-fourths of which are striped, spotted and blotched 

 with different shades, hardly any two plants producing flowers alike. Mixed 

 colors. (See cut.) ; Pkt. 10

HENDERSON'S ZEBRA ZINNIAS. 



Tlie Curled and Crested Zinnia seed I 

 bought of you came up finely and are 

 beautiful, bnlh in the variety ofcohr and the size andperfec- 

 tion of the blossom. I am very much pleased with them. — 



Mrs. Benj. Shurtleff, Revere, Mass. 



The CurUd and Crested Zinnias are very much admired. — 

 H. D. Brewster, Chateau de Sans, Anglet, pres Bayonne, France. 



"Curled and Crested" Zinnias. 



The flowers of Curled and Crested Zinnias are large and fall, 

 the petals being twisted, curled and crested into the most fantastic 

 contortions and graceful forms, rendering them entirely free from the 

 stiffness which was heretofore the characteristic of this family. Among 

 the merits of Curled and Crested Zinnias is the remarkable range 

 of colors — orange, purple, pink, deep rose, yellow, etc. 



The individual plants form compact bushes about 2 feet high by 2 

 feet through, and bear, well above the foliage, 15U to 300 flowers each, 

 by actual count. It can be readily imagined what a glorious effect they 

 make. (Seecut.) Pkt. 10 



NOTE. — It is well known that the first or early flowers of double Zinnias do 

 not always come perfect. The "Curled and Crested'," strain is no exception to 

 the rule, so do not rogue out too early, but wail for the character flowers.
