TORENIA 
Torenias are very pretty free-flowering plants, 
with small orchid-like blossoms beautifully marked 
and blotched, and borne in greatest profusion. The 
plants form neat little bushes about 10 inches in 
height, and if seeds are sown in the greenhouse or 
frame in February and March, they commence to 
bloom in June, and continue till frost. They suc- 
ceed best in a moist shady border, and are excellent 
for baskets or vases. Also splendid for pots.

violet-blue blotches and a bright yellow throat. Pkt. 25c. 
Baillonii. Golden yellow, purple throat. Pkt, 25 cts, 
VINCA (Madagascar Periwinkle) 
An attractive, free-flowering plant for bedding 
and edging. The glossy, dark green, laurel-like foli- 
age, and pretty pink-and-white flowers are refresh- 
ing to look upon. The plants are bushy, about 1 
foot in height, and bear a profusion of single flowers 
continuously throughout the summer. Particularly 
adapted for dry, sunny situations. Sow the seed in 
February or March, in the greenhouse or frame, 
and you will have stocky plants ready to bloom, for 
setting out in May, or 'they will bloom in August 
from seed sown outdoors in May.

MAMMOTH VERBENAS 
Verbenas raised from seed are much more? 
vigorous and free-flowering than if grown ■ 
from cuttings. Sow in the greenhouse or cold- 
frame in March, and transplant to the out- 
door beds in May. They will bloom abun- 
dantly all through the summer and autumn. 
Growing low, and spreading, the plants inter- 
twine and form a dense carpet of green foliage 
which makes a charming background for the 
brilliantly colored flowers. In rich soil, a 
single plant will cover a space 1 to 2 feet in 
diameter, and furnish a profusion of flowers. 
The flower-heads are very large, on fairly 
long stems, and very showy. Cut the flowers 
^ as soon as faded, and the plants will bloom 
J much more freely. Our strains are carefully 
i> selected, and greatly improved, producing; 
J flower-trusses of exceptional size.
