FLOWER SEED SPECIALTIES 



- HENDERSON'S 



MAMMOTH VERBENAS. 



This distinct and hsautiful race we originated, intro- 

 duced 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 un- 

 rivaled; flowers of the most brilliant colors produced con- 

 tinually from spring until late in the autumn. Although 

 perennials, these form luxuriant plants and bloom the 

 first season from reed. (See cut.)

 seeds which were purchased from. you. They were the ad- 

 miration of every beholder." 



Mrs. H. P. MORRISON, Oldham, Ohio. 



VERBENA, Lemon Scented. 



The Lemon yerbena (Aloysia citriodora) is an old 

 fashioned favorite with delightfully scented foliage. 

 A sprig of it is often included in mixed bouquets. The 

 leaves when dried will retain their fragrance for j'ears. It 

 is a low-growing tender shrub and may be grown in 

 the garden in summer and in pots in winter Pkt. 10c 



= WALL FLOWER. = 



THESE old European favorites are not as much grown and appreciated in 

 this country as they deserve, due, no doubt, to the fact that they nre 

 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 bushy plants, 1 i feet 

 high, bearing in the spring lone spikes of most deliciously fragrant flowers of 

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