hardy annual about one foot in height, bearing in 
quantity, heads of beautiful white, pink and red flowers. Any 
garden soil is suited to growing these free-blooming, showy plants,

VIRGINIA STOCKS 
An annual which finds a hearty welcome in most town and sub¬ 
urban gardens. Of branching, dwarf habit rarely exceeding 6 
inches in height. The flowers which are freely produced are of

stant succession of blossoms will be assured from May to autumn. 
The flowers possess a delightful fragrance, especially after a 
shower of rain. The Virginia Stock is suitable for massing in 
small beds, or as edgings to borders, and thrives in ordinary soil 
in sun or shade. Pkt., 10c.

Burgess’ Mammoth Verbenas 
Burgess Mammoth Verbenas 
Royal Bouquet Bush Verbena 
Our strain of mammoth Verbenas has been carefully 
selected and improved until we can recommend it as the best 
procurable. The trusses and individual flowers are of large 
size, of brilliant colors, free-blooming and of vigorous habit. 
The Verbena is one of the most popular garden annuals and 
lends itself willingly to many uses. For beds, borders and 
window boxes it is particularly fine, and is frequently used for an under¬ 
growth to tall plants like lilies, etc. The clusters of showy flowers are 
borne in constant succession from June until frost. We offer the follow¬ 
ing colors: Blue, Scarlet, Pink, White, Yellow, Italian Striped. Sepa¬ 
rate colors or mixed. 10c per packet; 3 pkts., 25c; 6 pkts., 45c. Plants— 
in mixture of colors only— 25c each; 3 for 65c; 12 for $2.10, postpaid. 
Royal Bouquet Bush Verbena 
A new, upright, compact form, growing 15 to 18 inches in height and 
not more than 10 inches across, with no lateral branches being thrown 
out. It bears in the utmost profusion, very large, brilliantly colored 
flowers. The blooms are borne on long stems and group themselves to¬ 
gether at the summit of the plant. One great possibility in connection 
with this valuable introduction is its suitability for growing in pots, a 
thing which has hitherto been impracticable with Verbenas. The color 
range is from purest white to pink, red, blue and purple, many flowers 
being distinctly auricula-eyed. The seed is offered in mixture of colors 
only. Pkt., 15c; 3 pkts., 30c.
