For covering porches, trellises or any other 

 thing where a climber can be used this is certainly 

 the best plant we know of, if you want shade early

 in a remarkably short space of time, and is covered 

 with a profusion of sweet-scented white flowers 

 followed by prickly seed pods. Pkt. gc. oz. 25c. 



VERBENAS. 



Early flowering plants may be had by sowing 

 the seed in boxes in the house and transplanting 

 the plants to the open ground as soon as the soil 

 is warm enough. Seed sown in the open garden in 

 May will produce flowering plants by August. The 

 mammoth flowering varieties excel in richness of 

 color and size of blooms anything ever betore 

 offered in the line of Verbenas. 



ODORATA— A fragrant German variety. Try this for 

 3' our flower bed; it is one of the most delightfully- 

 scented flowers ever produced, and a branch of cut 

 blooms will perfume an entire room. The plant is 

 a strong grower, and will bear an abundance of 

 blossoms during the entire season. The seed we 

 offer you was obtained by us direct from one of the 

 leading flower seed firms of Europe, and we believe 

 this verbena is one of the choicest flowers that can 

 be grown for bouquets, etc. Pkt. 5c.

 or 12 inches in diameter. It blossoms profuse- 

 ly, throwing tip its trusses of bloom well 

 above the foliage during the entire season. 

 The color is a clear, glowing crimson with a 

 large, pure white eye. This mammoth flow- 

 ering variety is one of the brightest, show- 

 iest, most prolific bloomers we have ever 

 seen, and is well worthy a place in every col- 

 lection. We have grown it for several years, 

 testing it under the most adverse circum- 

 stances and have never known it to fail. 

 For small beds or for borders for larger ones 

 it is indispensable. Pkt. iSC.

WILD FLOWER GARDEN FOR CHILDREN. 



There is need for a spot in the garden that the little ones can call their own, where the daintiest, sweetest 

 flowers, easy of culture and of rapid growth can be grown for their special enjovment. Nothing appeals so 

 instantly to a young fancy as bright colors and beauty of form, and the influence on the mind when in its 

 most receptive state, of a constant association with nature and its beauties, will be found to create beneficial 

 impressions lasting a life time. Not only is the love of the beautiful and the artistic taste aroused, but 

 there also comes a love of order and an incentive to work with a noble object when the child is given 

 a personal interest in the cultivation of the garden. With a small expense of loving 

 and thoughtful labor the Children's garden can be transformed into a delightfully attrac- 

 tive spot, overflowing with charm and 

 fascination in its quaint, exquisite beauty, 

 and forming the most instructive of 

 schoolrooms and the happiest of play- 

 grounds. This mixture embraces over 

 100 sorts of easy growing flowers most 

 suitable for any bare or unsightly spots 

 in the yard, to sow along fences, on em- 

 bankments, etc. All _ the cultivation 

 necessary is some thinning out where 

 the. plants are too crowded and to keep 

 the spot clear of weeds. Our packages con» 

 tain half an ounce of seed. Pkt. loc.
