NEW DOUBLE ANNUAL WALLFLOWER 
“EARLY WONDER VIOLET” 
Double Annual Wallflower 
“Early Wonder Violet” 
In the assortment of annual double Early Wonder Wallflowers there has been so far no 
violet similar to that of the old biennial Wallflower. The long strong central spike of this 
new variety is thickly covered with large double violet blooms. The ruby violet of the young 
flowers takes on a blue tinge as they become older. These dark violet spikes next to the yellow 
varieties excite just admiration. Early Wonder Wallflower sown in March will flower from 
August until the frost comes. It is also advantageous to continue sowing at intervals of a few 
weeks from June to September in order to obtain a continuation of richly flowering, sweetly 
smelling plants in the open during autumn and winter and early spring in the greenhouse or 
cold frame. Thus during a season when flowers are scarce it is possible to have splendid mate¬ 
rial for pots and cutting purposes. Tr. Pkt. 50c

NEW VERBENA VENOSA “LILACINA” 
A new variety with delicate lavender-blue flowers has now been added to the well-known fav¬ 
orite purple and the silver form of Verbena Venosa. Like the original variety it is excellent for 
carpet bedding and borders, it grows I foot high. The mass of flowers which hides all the fol¬ 
iage shows off the color to the best advantage. Verbena Venosa Lilacina, in conjunction with 
the dark type, is therefore a valuable and dependable material for color schemes and effects 
in general bedding work. It is also most useful for cutting. Tr. Pkt.50c 
TAGETES (Marigold) “GUINEA GOLD” 
(See illustration opposite) 
Distinctly new in type, of graceful pyramidal habit, 
Guinea Gold produces a neat, compact plant, about 2 
inches across, are semi-double in character, and loosely 
ruffled. The color is a brilliant golden orange or Califor¬ 
nia gold, the color so much in demand by florists. When 
first introduced in England, it was offered as a bedding 
plant, but in the United States it quickly became known as 
a florists’ cut flower, and its success has been phenomenal. 
The absence of the characteristic marigold odor has been 
in its favor, as well as its excellent keeping qualities when 
used as a cut flower. 
NOTE: We have found that various types of “Guinea Gold” 
are being offered (some of them not so good). Our supply 
of seed of this valuable cut flower is exclusively from the 
original English introducers.—A. B. C.
