90 Di—M. “BERRY. .8:-EO;S; DESCRIPTIVE] CARPAL OGUE 
e e (Dianthus barbatus) A well known, extensively used, sweet scented perennial for 
Sweet William bedding and borders, forming fine clumps in any good garden soil and under proper 
eonditions lasting for several seasons. They produce a succession of flower clusters, 
thus affording splendid bloom for several weeks. The florets are handsomely colored and marked and are borne on stiff 
stems in great profusion, forming dense round topped heads or clusters, often three to four inches across. The colors are 
exceedingly varied, ranging from white through many shades of rose, lilac, red, carmine, crimson and maroon to nearly 
black, usually two shades to each plant. ap ; 
Sow outdoors very early in spring, preferably in rich, mellow soil, in rows one foot apart. Cover seed with one-fourth 
inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. When two inches high, thin to sixinches apart. In the more northerly latitudes, pro- 
tect with mulching in winter. Seed can also be sown in fall. There are usually no flowers until the second season, but 
if seed is started very early under glass and transplanted, blooms may be had late in autumn. The old clumps may be 
divided but it is usually more satisfactory to start vigorous young plants every year or two. Hardy perennial; one and 
one-half feet high.

This well known an- 
Ver ena nual of low grow- 
ing decumbent 
habit of growth is very desirable for 
massing in beds on the lawn. It is suitable 
also for borders and window boxes. 
Large clusters of showy flowers are 
borne in succession through a_ long 
season until frost. Each truss or cluster 
is about two to three inches across, and 
includes a dozen or more single flowers 
about three-fourths of an inch across, 
tubular with five spreading lobes. The 
length of stem and texture of the 
flowers make them of value for bouquets 
and table decorations. There is a wide 
range of colors, shades and stripes usually 
running rom pure white to deep purple. 
Verbenas usually flower well in August 
from seed sown in open ground in May. 
Germination will be hastened if the seed is 
soaked in lukewarm water before planting. 
It is desirable to have the soil well fertilized 
and carefully pulverized. Cover seed about 
one-fourth inch deep. When the young 
plants have three or four leaves transplant 
in rows two feet apart and about twenty- 
four inches apart in the row, choosing 
preferably a sunny situation. At this 
distance the plants, if conditions are 
favorable. will spread so as to cover the 
ground completely. 
Earlier blooming may be had if plants 
are started indoors and transplanted in the 
open ground after danger of killing frost 
is over. Half hardy perennial trailer, one 
foot high, usually treated as an annual. 
Hybrida Scarlet. May be relied upon to 
produce the true, deep scarlet color. 
No variety gives a more brilliant effect
