Flower Seeds 
Snapdragon. 
One of the most showy 
plants In our gardens 
easily grown from seed. 
This mixture of flower 
seeds is a source of great 
curiosity and is specially 
suitable for children’s 
gardens. There are so 
many different kinds of 
flowers in it that it pro¬ 
duces a mass of bloom 
continuously from early 
Summer until frost. Sow 
thinly, scattering the 
seeds on the surface of 
the soil, in beds or bor¬ 
ders, rake lightly and firm the soil with the back of 
a spade. Where the seedlings come up too close to¬ 
gether, thin out or transplant. 'Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts.

rapid growth, handsome foliage and much admired

kets, borders, etc. Sky-blue, bright yellow center.

Verbena 
Verbenas in quantity are more easily obtained from 
seed than from cuttings, and there is, moreover, a 
chance of raising novelties. Sown in Spring they flower 
quite early in the season, and a single plant in good 
rich soil will cover a space 4 or 5 feet in diameter, pro¬ 
ducing, if the flowers are cut as they fade, a mass of 
bloom until killed by frost. Half-hardy perennials.
