SPRING CATALOGUE OF SEEDS, 
Tfle Mayflower Verbena. 
First offered by us two years ago and is acknowledged to 
be one of the great good things of tlib- century, w'hich will 
eventually be seen in every home where flowers are grown. 
With the habit, beauty and frgrance of the Trailing Arbutus, 
a plant equally valuable for the garden or for pots and a 
perpetual bloomer,—what more can be desired. This great 
novelty was raised and named by Luther Burbank, of Cali¬ 
fornia, the noted horticulturist. It is named Mayflower 
because the shape of its blossoms, its color, and fragrance, 
are almost identical with the wide-famed and cherished 
Trailing Arbutus, or as it is called in New England, May¬ 
flower. The flowers .,re as rich and powerful in fragrance 
as the Arbutus. The Verbena, being of a creeping or trail¬ 
ing habit, like the Arbutus, with clusters and individual 
flowers much the same, one can easily imagine how the ad¬ 
dition of the same fragrance may make,a close imitation of 
that most beautiful of all wild flowers.

Arbutus, with the same unexcelled fragrance. Perfect

This is one of the most magnificent Novelties we ever 
introduced. They grow easily and rapidly from seed, and 
make fine specimen plants in two or three months, and if 
you raise a thousand of them no two will be alike. The 
leaves are large (often a foot long) and wavy, spotted, mot¬ 
tled, striped, splashed, marbled etc., with the most rich 
and charming colors—white, purple, pink, crimson, green, 
yellow, velvety red and black—in endless variety. Such 
colors; such combinations and contrasts ! They excel Fancy- 
Leaved Caladiums and all other foliage plants. We never 
put out a finer novelty than this, or one the magnificence of 
which will prove such a surprise and delight to those who 
grow it. Our cut represents a plant only two or three 
months from the seed. The seed we offer is saved from the
