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.

Can you imagine anything 

 more colorful than a driveway 

 V J bordered with Verbenas? This 

 is the entrance to our Trial 

 Grounds at Salinas, California. 



And what could be gayer than 

 a bowl of the bright blossoms 

 on the dining room table? 



These 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 6ize.

Luminosa Flaming pink shading to coral. 



Scarlet (Lucifer) Flaming red. 



White Exquisite pure white.

Any one of the above: y% oz. 50c; pkt. 15c 



Hybrida [8 in.] The ever reliable bedding type, very florifer- 

 ous and producing clusters of fine blossoms of excellent 

 size. 



There is a wide range of colors, — vivid pink, bright 

 scarlet, deep violet blue. Some flowers have light colored 

 centers which make them distinctive. This variety is very 

 desirable for rock gardens, as well as for low borders, on 

 account of the plant's trailing habits. 



Scarlet (Defiance) Fiery red with small white eye. 



Choice Mixed An assortment of all the vivid colors and 

 intermediate shades. 



Each of the above: ]/i oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



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. Germination very uncertain. .Pkt. 15c
