Several acres of our choice strain of Verbena being grown for seed 

 on one of our California ranches. 



VALERIANA (Garden Heliotrope) [hP-2 ft.] During the sum- 

 mer months when many plants are likely to suffer from 

 lack of moisture, Valeriana remains in flower, — it is so 

 vigorous and hardy. Its silvery green foliage spreads con- 

 siderably, 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 at- 

 tention 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. 



Those ever popular dwarf creeping plants produce a 

 garnish of somber, dark green foliage enlivened by many 

 fine clusters of star-shaped blossoms with rounded lobed 

 petals. The colors are decidedly refreshing in their 

 brilliancy. Though half hardy Verbena should be used as an 

 annual and will flower from midsummer to frost from seeds 

 started early in the spring. 



Hybrida Mammoth [8in.] Sometimes called "Gigantea". A 

 choice selection of the large flowering strain which 

 bears fine rounded clusters of blossoms. Individually they 

 are of splendid size. 

 Blue Deep violet-blue with white eye. 

 Luminosa Flaming pink shading to coral. 

 Scarlet (Lucifer) Flaming red. 

 White Exquisite pure white. 

 Mixed A superb blend of mammoth sorts.

Citriodora (Lemon Verbena) [6 in.] This unusual 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 they are especially useful dried, 

 for they retain their delightful fragrance and can be used 

 for making sachets Pkt. 15c 



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 foli- 

 age the dainty flowers are gracefully poised on slender 

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

 lap 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.
