 sunny situation ; used extensively in hanging-baskets, vases,

 baskets, borders, etc.; covered the entire season with a mass

4322 Fournlerl. Sky-bUie, with three spots of dark blue, 



bright yellow centre 10 



4321 Balloni. Bright golden-yellow, with a brownish- 

 red throat 15 



TRITOMA. 



(Ke<1-hot Poker, Flame Flower,) 

 or Torch Lily.) 

 4330 Hybrida. The introduction of 

 new, early and continuous-flow- 

 ering Tritomas has given them a 

 prominent place among hardy 

 bedding plants. It is not gen- 

 erally known that they are readi- 

 ly grown from seed, many flow- 

 ering the first year if sown early. 

 The seed we offer has been 

 saved from our own collection, 

 which is undoubtedly the finest 

 in this country. Of course, for 

 immediate results it will be 

 belter to get plants, but raising 

 them from seed is highly in- 

 teresting 25

Dreer's IVfammotli 

 Verbenas. 



We have been carefully selecting and 

 improving this fine strain of Verbenas for 

 years, and can recommend it as the very 

 best procurable. The trusses and in- 

 dividual flowers are of the largest size, of 

 brilliant colors; free-blooming and of 

 vigorous habit. For best results seed 

 should be sown early in the house or hot- 

 bed, and transplanted to flowering quarters 

 in May. Verbenas are better grown from 



seed than from cuttings, being more vigorous and not 



'iable to disease. (See cut.)

VARIOUS VERBENAS. 



Lemon Verbena {Aloysia Citriodora). Every 

 garden should have a few plants of this fragrant 

 favorite. Its pale green delightfully scented foli- 

 age goes well with any flower 10 



4365 Erinoides (Moss Verbena). This lovely va- 

 riety produces a mass of moss-like foliage, spread- 

 ing over the ground like a cnrpet, above which 

 are borne heads of purplish-blue bossoms in lav- 

 ish profusion ; comes into flower in June and 

 continues until frost. For beds, baskets or rock- 

 eries it is highly desirable 10 



4367 Venosa {Hardy Garden Verbena). This va- 

 riety is largely used for bedding purposes. It is 

 a strong, thrifty grower, is about one foot high 

 and covered from early summer until late fall 

 with its bright purplish-heliotrope flowers. \ oz.,
