Annual Canterbury Bells. 



Nasturtium, Golden Gleam. 



Nasturtium 

 Golden Gleam 



2322. A flower that's really new. 

 For years hybridizers have been 

 trying to improve this old favorite 

 and have finally been successful. 

 Habit of growth is the same as the 

 tall varieties, but it is in the bloom 

 that the change has been made. 

 Flowers are bright yellow, full 

 double and exquisitely sweet scent- 

 ed. Offered in packets only, each 25c. 



Verbena Grandiflora Hybrida 



3052 Beauty of Oxford Hybrid. Beauty of Oxford has been, 

 until this time, the finest and largest rose-red Verbena; how- 

 ever, it could only be propag^ated by cuttings. By crossing it 

 with Luminosa our grower has produced a strain that not 

 only produces seed, but the flowers are half again as large 

 as Beauty of Oxford and with but very little of the brilliant 

 coloring- lost. Pkt., 50c. 



3053 Grandiflora, Lavender Glory. A fit companion for Beauty 

 of Oxford Hybrids. Individual florets will cover a silver half- 

 dollar and are clear lavender in color with a white eye at the 

 center. This wonderful Verbena took 12 years to develop to 

 its present state of perfection. Pkt., 50c.

975. An extremelv free flowering hardy annual growing a 

 foot tall. Plants are of bushy growth and literally covered with 

 bright yellow cups from July until frost. Sow seed in shallow 

 drills as early as the ground can be worked in the place where
