POPPY SHIRLEY ' 'SWEET BRIAR" 

 Double Begonia Flowered (Annual) 



3451 One of the most popular colors and also more in 

 demand than any other variety of Shirley Poppy, 

 Sweet Briar is a delightful shade of deep Rose- 

 Pink. The blossoms are very full and double, re- 

 sembling a very large double Begonia. (See 

 illustration.) Pkt. 25c 



SWEET WILLIAM PURPLE BEAUTY 



(Perennial) 



4461 Purple Beauty is unique because it is the first 

 purple Sweet William ever known. Its bright deep 

 purple color is wonderfully effective in a bed or 

 border, and there is no doubt that it will be equally 

 popular as a cut-flower. (See illustration.) . . Pkt. 25c 



URSINIA Onethoides (Annual) 



4478 An interesting annual from the Cape of Good Hope. 

 The plants are dwarf in habit, growing about one 

 foot high, and carrying on long wire-like stems; 

 numerous orange colored daisy-like flowers with 

 brown centers; which present a very decorative 

 appearance. In some European countries one may 

 see beds of Ursinia in the public parks making a 

 striking and lasting display. (5ee illustration.)

 yellow eye. A wonderful acquisition to our group 

 of Grandiflora Verbenas. (See illustration.) . Pkt. 25c 



4490 BEAUTY OF OXFORD HYBRIDS (Annual) 



A beautiful giant hybrid, the individual florets mea- 

 sure over one inch in diameter. The color shades 

 from clear rose-pink to rose red, making this the 

 brightest Rose Verbena ever produced from seed. 

 This beautiful Verbena will be welcomed as a dis- 

 tinct addition to the Verbena Grandiflora color 

 group.' (5ee illustration.) Pkt. 50c 



4491 LAVENDER GLORY (Annual). A glorious color 

 not hitherto known in Verbenas — a true lavender. 

 The flower has a cream white eye which helps to 

 accentuate the color of the rest of the flower. The 

 individual florets are large enough when well grown 

 to cover a fifty cent piece. Lavender Glory is 

 also sweetly fragrant Pkt. 25c

 about six inches high literally covered -with bright 

 scarlet blooms, excellent for borders, beds, or pot
