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

 ing the summer months when many plants are 

 hkely to suffer from lack of moisture, Valeriana 

 remains in flower, — it is so vigorous and hardy. 

 Its silvery green foliage spreads considerably, 

 and its numerous stalks carry feathery clusters 

 of tiny sweet scented florets. Since it needs 

 little care, it is useful in spots like a rocky bank 

 that receives scant attention and yet should 

 have decoration.

VERBENA [tP] Do you remember a sunny bare 

 place that was an eyesore in the flower border 

 last summer? Or some other spot that would 

 have been improved by low-growing plants 

 with a dash of color? You will make no mistake 

 by choosing Verbenas for such a need in your 

 next year's garden. 



These ever popular dwarf creeping plants pro- 

 duce a garnish of somber, dark green foliage en- 

 livened by many fine clusters of star-shaped 

 blossoms with rounded lobed petals. The 

 colors are decidedly refreshing in their brilliancy. 



Though half hardy it should be used as an 

 annual and will flower from midsummer to 

 frost from seeds started early in the spring.

'Gigantea". A choice selection of the large

Citriodora (Lemon Verbena) [6 in.] This unusual 

 species, botanicaDy "Lippia Citriodora," is a low ever- 

 green 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 they 

 are especially useful dried, for they retain their de- 

 lightful fragrance and can be used for making sachets.

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

 Those who do not know the Viola often mistake it 

 for a small flowered Pansy. It belongs to the same 

 great Violet family, but it is distinctly different. It 

 is very hardy, and for that reason it is one of the 

 best edging plants for the permanent border or rock 

 garden. Over neat tufts of foliage the dainty flowers 

 are gracefully poised on slender stems. Frequently 

 the petals of the blossoms do not overlap as they do 

 in many Pansies, and the spur or horn of the lower 

 petal is more pronounced. 



White Glistening white. Yellow Bright gold. 



Blue Perfection A fine light blue.
