STKEPTOCAKPUS HYBKIDUS 



A new hybrid race of the Cape Primrose paralleling in importance the Gloxinia, Achimenes, etc., for 

 greenhouse and conservatory decoration. They are easily grown, commencing to flower in about 8 

 months from seed and bloom most profusely during summer, but continue all winter. The plants are 

 of compact growth. The flowers, 2 ^ 2 to 3 inches across, with long tube-like corollas, are borne in clusters 

 of 6 to 8 on a stem and several stems to a plant. It is not unusual for a well-grown specimen to show 

 more than 100 open flowers at a time. The colors are varied from white through shades of pink, rose, 

 wine-red, light blue, mauve, violet-purple, etc, many having white throats, or marked in various ways.

HENDERSONS MAMMOTH 



This distinct and beautiful 

 race we originated, introduced 

 and named. The average trus- 

 ses measure 9 to 12 inches in 

 circumference and the individ- 

 ual florets on properly grown 

 plants over 1 inch across — or 

 larger than a 2Sc. silver piece. 

 They bloom freely, are vigor- 

 ous in growth, and contain 

 beautiful new colors and 

 shades. For garden beds and 

 massing these Verbenas are 

 unfiyaled; flowers of the most 

 brilliant colors produced con- 

 tinually from spring until late 

 in the autumn. Although per- 

 ennials, these form luxuriant 

 plants and bloom the first season 

 from seed. (See cut.)

TMTOMAS 



Tritomas, popularly known 

 as "Torch Lilies," "Red Hot

 are among our showiest hardy

 tween early and late flowering 

 species, are particularly beau- 

 tiful and varied. They grow 

 from seed and flower well the 

 second year commencing in 

 May and continue to bloom 

 throughout the summer and 

 fall. They range in color 

 through shades and combina- 

 tions of yellows from pale 

 lemon to orange and from

 group of these lovely hybrids 

 is remarkably distinctive and 

 handsome. (See cut.) . Pkt. 25c.
