been carefully selected and improved un¬

flowers are of large size, of brilliant

boxes it is i)articularly fine, and is frequently 
used for an undergrowth to tall plants like lilies, 
etc. The clusters of showy flowers are borne in 
constant succession from June until frost. We

Royal Bouquet 
Bush Verbena 
Sweet Pea Inoculator 
Sweet Peas are legumes, and can absorb Nitro¬ 
gen only from the air through the aid of nodules 
on the roots. Inoculation of the seed greatly 
stimulates the growth of these nodules and makes 
for success with this m;)st jtopular flower. Garden 
size Inoculation, sufticient for 4 lbs. of seed, and 
good for Sweet Peas, Garden Peas and Beans, for 
only lOc. 
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; Vs oz., 60c.
