He " derso " ,s 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 grown 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 beds and 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.) 



WALL FLOWER. 



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

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

 that they are scarcely hardy in very cold locations, but in shel- 

 tered 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 bushy plants 1} feet high, bearing 

 in the spring long spikes of most deliciously fragrant flowers of 

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

 "Last spring I obtained from you seeds of Mammoth Zinnia. As 

 a result I have one of the finest and showiest beds of Youth and Old Age 

 ever seen anywhere. I have for years raised Zinnias, but these are the 

 most lovely and attract the most attention.''

Tufted or Bedding "Pansy-Violets." 



NEW LARGE-FLOWERING HYBRIDS. 



(VIOLA C0RNUJA GRAND/FLORA HYBRIDA.) 



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

 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, leathered, picotee-edged, etc. 

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

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

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

 than pansies, 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. 



Mixed Colors Pkt. 25c. 



"Your 'Pansy-Violets' afford us extreme satisfaction; such bearers, such long 

 stems and such a variety of colors! We also grow your large Butterfly Pansies, and 

 while they are grand, yet for 'real comfort' we think we must have some of the Sweet 

 'Pansy-Violets.' The fragrance from a bunch of them perfumes the room." 



Miss GERTRUDE DONALDSON, Lenox, Mass.
