NEW ANNUAL SWEET WILLIAM. CDianAus Barbae Annuus.) 



The old favorite Sweet William, as all know, does not flower until the second year from seed, but this new 

 type commences blooming in early summer from spring-sown seed and continues in flower for several 

 weeks. The plants are of the same habit as the perennial kinds, producing fine heads of bloom of various 

 colors — white, crimson, rose-pink, etc., many of which are broadly edged with white and sweetly fragrant.

 affected by insects; the small single flowers of various colors are freely produced. A neat, pretty vine for 

 trellis, fences, rockwork, etc. Though a tender perennial, it is usually grown as an annual.

 12 to 15 inches high, are continuously covered with these snow-white flowers, V/i inches across — through- 

 out the summer. Very useful for cutting 10c. 



Henderson's Mammoth Verbenas. 



This distinct and beautiful race we originated, introduced and named. The average 

 trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in circumference and the individual florets on prop- 

 erly grown plants over 1 inch across — or larger than a 25c. silver piece. They bloom 

 freely, are vigorous in growth, and contain beautiful new colors and shades. For 

 garden beds and massing these verbenas are unrivaled; flowers of the most brilliant 

 colors produced continually from spring until late in the autumn. Although perennials, 

 these form luxuriant plants and bloom the first season from seed.
