Early Giant Imperial Stocks 
A recently developed strain of early-flowering Winter or 
Brompton Stocks, forming much-branched plants about 2} feet 
high and having numerous spikes of very large, double, de- 
lightfully 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.

Tritoma Hybrida 
(Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lily) 
4330 The introduction 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 a 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 interesting. 15 cts. per 
pkt.; 50 cts. per } oz.

Three Gorgeous Sweet Williams 
Few plants are so effective for midsummer bloom as the Sweet 
William, and while classed as perennials, they are best handled as 
biennials; raising a crop of new seedlings each season, they are 
sure to give better results than old plants. The three sorts offered 
below are bewildering in the mass of gorgeous bloom which they 
produce all summer. PER PKT. 
4282 Newport Pink. A distinct new color which origi- 
nated in one of the far-famed gardens at Newport, R. I. 
In color it is what florists call watermelon-pink or 
salmony-rose. Strikingly brilliant and beautiful; the 
flowers are borne in massive heads on stems 18 inches 
high. For mid-season mass bedding it has no equal. 
It is also very effective for cutting................. $0 15 
4281 Scarlet Beauty. A very effective, rich deep scarlet 
variety, a rare color in hardy plants............ 15 
4291 Holborn Glory. This strain is a large-flowered 
* selection of the auricula-eyed section, the most 
beautiful and admired of all Sweet Williams. The 
individual flowers and trusses are of extraordinary 
size, while the range of color, all showing a clear, 
white eye, is truly superb. + 0z., 30 ctS....,..+000 10 
Dreer’s Mammoth Verbenas 
Not so many years ago we considered as almost perfect any 
strain of Verbenas, the flowers of which could cover a 25 cent 
piece. By careful selection the individual flowers of our strain 
now almost cover a 50 ct. piece. The trusses 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 
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: PER PKT.
