Early Giant Imperial Stocks 



A recently developed strain of early-flowering Winter or Brompton 

 Stocks, forming much-branched plants about 21 feet high and having num- 

 erous spikes of very large, double, delightfully fragrant flowers, they are of 

 special value as pot plants for greenhouse decoration and for cutting during 

 the dull winter months; for this purpose seed should be sown from July to 

 September; if sown in February or March will produce plants that will 

 bloom out of doors from mid-summer till frost.

J Dreer's Mammoth 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 individual 

 flowers are of the largest size; of brilliant colors, free-bjooming and of 

 vigorous habit. For best and quickest results seed should be sown early in 

 the house or hotbed, and transplanted to flowering quarters in May. If 

 sown outdoors in May, it blooms from the end of July on. We offer the 

 following colors:

Scarlet Sage "America" 



3936 We have in the last few years tested over a score of varieties of 

 Scarlet Sage and in this variety, which was grown at our own Nursery, 

 and which was easily the most brilliant bit of color among the acres of 

 flowers grown there, we have what is undoubtedly the earliest, freest 

 and most continuous bloomer of all, and, what is still more important, 

 the most uniform in habit of growth; the bushy plants do not grow 

 over 15 inches high, with the spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown 

 well above the plant, making a total height of about 2 feet, and in the 

 lines, several hundred feet in length, there was not a variation of an 

 inch in the height of any plant; the importance of this uniformity 

 will be appreciated by those who use Scarlet Sage for beds or borders.
