GURNEY’S SWEET PEAS FOR BEAUTY AND FRAGRANCE 
\ 
If I were restricted to one 
flower, I believe I would choose 
Sweet Peas.

^ Gurney’s W.N.A.X. ^ 
Mixture of Giant 
^ Spencer Sweet Peas ^ 
For those who do not care for sweet peas in 
separate colors, Gurney's W. N. A. X. mixture 
of Spencers, will satisfy the most exacting flower 
lover. This mixture is made of the best of the 
old standard Spencers and a careful selection of 
the new creations with their heavier, longer 
stems, longer blooming period and larger flowers, 
some of them measuring two inches across. 
Four or five perfect flowers on a stem. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 12c; J4 lb., 30c; J / 2 lb., 55c; 1 lb., 95c.

These bloom two weeks before the standard 
Spencer varieties, but with the same large, 
waved flowers. They have replaced the stand¬ 
ard Spencers in greenhouse planting and, though 
they do not grow quite as tall, their earliness 
and long season of bloom make them invaluable 
in outdoor planting, particularly in the short 
seasoned north.

fond remembrance—Mother’s day. Pkt., 12c;

VINCA 
Ornamental free-blooming plants with bright 
green shiny foliage and one of the most satis¬ 
factory and long-flowering bedding plants we 
have. Seed can be sown out of doors as soon as 
the ground is warm; they may be potted and

Mixed—Pkt., 7c; 14 oz.,20c. 
STOCKS 
The Ten Weeks Stocks bloom in 10 weeks after 
being sown; they grow from 12 to 18 inches high, 
each plant forming a perfect bouquet of delight¬ 
ful fragrance. 
Our strain of Double Giant Perfection Stocks 
is the finest vve have ever seen. Pkt., 10c; 3 for 
25c. 
VERBENAS 
Not so many years ago we considered as al¬ 
most perfect any strain of Verbenas, the flower 
of which could cover a 25-eent piece. By careful 
selection an individual flower of our strain now 
almost covers a 50-cent piece. The trusses are of 
the largest size; of brilliant colors, free-blooming 
and of vigorous’ habit. For best and quickest 
results seed should be sown early in the house or 
hotbed, and transplanted to flowering quarters 
in May. If sown outdoors in May, it blooms from 
the end of July on.
