TRITOMA. 



(Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lily.) 



PER PKT. 



4330 Hybrida. The introduction of new, continuous floweringTrito- 

 mas 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 un- 

 doubtedly the finest in this country. Of course, for immediate 

 results it will be better to get plants, but raising them from 

 seed is highly interesting. 2 pkts. , 25 cts 15 



4;i,",l — iMirabilis. A new variety, of dwarf and quick flowering 

 habit, seed sown before the end of March producing plants 

 that come into bloom in July; flower stems about 3 feet high,

 from light citron-yellow to rich orange-scarlet 25 



TUNICA. 



4335 Saxifraga. A neat, tufted hardy perennial plant, growing 

 but a few inches high and bearing throughout the entire season

 border; blooms the first season 10

VIXCA (Madagascar Periwinkle, or Old Maid). 



Ornamental free-blooming plants and one of the most satis- 

 factory flowering bedding plants we have. It is best to start

 in August from seed sown out of doors in May, or as soon as 

 the ground is warm, continuing until frost; or they may be 

 potted and kept in bloom through the winter; a fine cut flower, 

 every bud opening when placed in water; 2 feet. (See cut.)

O Drher's Mammoth Verbenas. 



DRHEK'S 

 MAMMOTH TERBENAS. 



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 transplanted 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. (See cut. )

 garden should have a few plants of this fragrant favor- 

 ite. Its pale green delightfully scented foliage goes 

 well with any flower 10

 produces a mass of moss-like foliage, spreading over 

 the ground like a carpet, above which are borne heads 

 of purplish-blue and white blcssoms in lavish profusion;

 beds, baskets or rockeries it is highly desirable 10

 thrifty grower, about 1 foot high, and covered from
