VALERIANA (Garden Heliotrope) [hP-2 ft,.] Dur- 

 ing the summer months when many plants may 

 suffer from a lack of moisture this species will 

 remain in flower. It is a vigorous hardy plant 

 with silvery green foliage, rather spreading and 

 produces numerous stalks carrying feathery 

 clusters of tiny sweet scented florets. Needing 

 little care it is useful in spots that receive scant 

 attention and need decoration such as a rocky 

 bank.

VERBENA [tP] Each season the gardener thinks 

 back to the successes or failures of the year 

 before. Often there is the recollection of some 

 sunny bare spot that would have been improved 

 with a ground cover which afforded a dash of 

 color. Choose Verbenas for such a need. 



These ever popular dwarf creeping plants form 

 a garnishing mass of rather somber, dark green 

 foliage enlivened with many fine clusters of star- 

 shaped blossoms with rounded lobed petals. 

 Their colors are decidedly refreshing in then- 

 brilliancy. 



Though half hardy it should be used as an 

 annual and will flower from mid-summer to 

 frost from seeds started early in the spring.

Verbena Hybrida, Choice Mixed 



Citriodora (Lemon Verbena) [6 in.] This distinct species, 

 botanically "Lippia Citriodora," is a low evergreen leaved 

 tender plant that may be grown outside during the warm 

 summer months. The sprays of light green leaves may be 

 combined in bouquets but are especially useful dried, when 

 they retain their delightful fragrance Pkt. 15c 



VIOLA CORNUTA (Tufted Pansies) [hP-R-6 in] 

 To the casual observer this Viola is often mistaken 

 for a small flowered Pansy. It belongs to the same 

 great Violet family but is distinctly different and, 

 being hardy, is one of the finest edging plants for 

 the permanent border or rock garden. They are 

 neat in habit, forming symmetrical tufts of foUage 

 over which are poised the dainty flowers on slender 

 stems. Often the petals of the blossoms do not over- 

 lap each other as they do in the better Pansies and 

 the spur or horn of the lower petal is more pro- 

 nounced, making them very graceful. They are 

 persistent bloomers if the wilted flowers are kept 

 nipped off. 



White Glistening white. Yellow Bright gold. 



Blue Perfection A fine hght blue.
