RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS 



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-blooming and of vigorous habit. For best and quickest 

 results seed should be sown early in the house or hot bed, and trans- 

 planted to flowering quarters in May. If sown outdoors in May, it 

 blooms from the end of July on. Verbenas are better grown from seed 

 than from cuttings, being more vigorous and not liable to disease.

TRITOMA 



Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or 



Torch Lily) PER pkt 

 4330 Hybrida. The introduc- 

 tion of new, continuous 

 flowering Tritomas has given 

 them a prominent place 

 among hardy bedding plants. 

 It is not generally known 

 that they are readily grown 

 from seed, many flowering 

 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 better to get 

 plants, but raising them from seed is highly interest- 

 ing. 2 pkts., 25 cts 15
