 years we have carefully selected and hybridized our Petunias, until 

 we can justly claim superiority in size, color and markings over 

 any others. Our collection of this year is unsurpassed, and is

NEW DOUBEE VERBENA, 



" Double Defiance." 



A glance at the accompanying Illustration will show the double 

 form of this new departure in Verbenas, which may become the 

 progenitor of an entirely new class in this popular bedding plant. 

 This would make Verbenas valuable for summer cut flowers, as the 

 double form holds firmly together and imparts a lasting quality to 

 the flowers, which the single varieties lack, and which has prevent- 

 ed their general use in summer bouquets and vases of flowers, 

 where their brilliant colors and delicate fragrance would be a valu- 

 able addition. 



The Double Deflauoe is a brilliant red deepening to rich crim- 

 son at the centre, trusses and florets good size; the plant is a clean 

 and vigorous grower. 



Price, 30 cts. each ; S3. 00 per dozen. 



NEW DOUBLE TEBBENA, " DOUBLE DEFLiNCE." 



The plants shipped me by express arrived in perfect condition. They have been planted for one week, and all are growing finely. Not a single plant was injured or 

 wilted en route. I think this somewhat remarkable for so long a shipment in the month of June. — J. H. C. Young, Yankton, Dak., June 16th, 188S.
