newest and rarest plant from Mexico, throwing up from the root many 
stout, woody stems, furnished with rather large foliage. The large flowers

scarlet. The large shrubbery plant flowers for a long period and is 
especially desirable for a background. Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00. 
VIRGINIAN STOCK 
VIRGINIAN STOCK (French Forget-me-not). French Forget-me-nots 
are fast growing, early flowering little plants for spring use in the 
annual rock garden or as an edging plant. They are in flower with such 
early blossoming varieties as alyssum, pansies, violas and linarias. As 
they come before the nemesias, they could very well be used in the space 
to be filled on by them. They are charming when grown either in mix¬ 
ture or in the separate colors of rose, crimson and white* which are 
offered. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 25c.

VERBENA 
VERBENA BEAUTY OF OXFORD HYBRID. For many years the non¬

new strain is the nearest approach in a seeding variety to the bright 
deep rose pink shade of Beauty of Oxford. The individual floweretts 
measured over 1 inch in diameter, they are half as large again as Beauty 
of Oxford and will easily cover a silver half dollar. The foliage is a 
dark green. This beautiful verbena will be welcomed as a distinct addi¬ 
tion to the verbena family. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 45c.
