ELLIS BR0TBEB8’ CATALOGUE. 
Fragrance. This is 
another of Mr. Luther 
Burbank’s most valuable 
novelties. We believe 
that it will become far 
more popular than the 
old Calla has ever been, 
and that it will soon take 
the old Calla’s place alto- 
gether, inasmuch as it 
produces more flowers 
and requires but half the 
space. Mr. Burbank says : 
“ In the new Calla, ‘ Fra- 
grance,’ which is one of 
many thousand seedlings, 
we have not only a most 
charming flower produced 
in a profusion never be- 
fore surpassed, if equaled, 
but also with a genuine, 
sweet, lasting fragrance 
all its own, but similar to 
the fragrance of violets 
and lilies. The plants are 
of medium size, compact in growth, and multiply with great rapidity, growing and 
blooming profusely under any ordinary treatment. In purchasing ‘Fragrance’ no 
mistake need ever be made, as the foliage is unique, being handsomely fluted.” (See 
cut.) Genuine stock. Price, small, 25 <Sls. ; larger, 40 dls. 
VERBENAS. 
Verbenas being a leading specialty, we have selected from a large collection the 
following varieties, which combine the best bedding qualities and embrace the great- 
est variety of color, which cannot fail to give satisfaction to all. The list includes 
many of the best so-called mammoth sets; but where older sorts are still the best, we 
retain them on our list. We also have in stock many kinds not on the list.
