Henderson’s M ammo th Verbenas. 
This distinct and beautiful race we originated, introduced and named. The 
average trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in circumference and the individual florets 
on properly grown plants over 1 inch across—or larger than a 25c. silver piece. 
They bloom freely, are vigorous in growth, and contain beautiful new colors and 
shades. For garden beds and massing these verbenas are unrivaled; flowers of the 
most brilliant colors produced continually from spring until late in the autumn. 
Although perennials, these form luxuriant plants and bloom the first season from 
seed. ( See cut.)

IMEIW LARGE-FLOWERING HYBRIDS. 
(VIOLA CORNUTA GRANDIFLORA HYBRIDA.) 
This new and improved strain produces beautiful pansy-like blossoms, 2 to 2\ 
inches across, of great substance and of most brilliant colors, including white, lemon, 
orange, claret, crimson, maroon, lavender, purple, silver-gray, rose, black, blue, 
etc., also fancy varieties tinted, striped, blotched, feathered, picotee-edged, etc. 
The plants are hardy, of vigorous growth, forming deep-rooting, compact tufted 
clumps. Planted in masses or lines, they form perfect mats covered with myriads 
of flowers from spring until cold weather. They are more perennial in character 
than pansies, throwing out new roots annually, adapting them to permanent beds, 
edgings, etc. The flowers are borne on long stems which shoot up like those of 
the violet directly from the roots, which accounts for their continuous bloom for 
nine months in the year. Many of them are as highly scented as the sweetest violet.

“ Your 1 Pansy-Violets* afford us extreme satisfaction; such bearers, such long 
stems and such a variety of colors! We also grow your large Butterfly Pansies, and 
while they are grand, yet for ‘real comfort’ we think we must have some of the Sweet 
‘ Pansy- Violets.’ The fragrance from a bunch of them perfumes the room."

WALL FLOWER.: 
T hese old European favorites are not as much grown and appreci¬ 
ated in this country as they deserve, due, no doubt, to the fact 
that they are scarcely hardy in very cold locations, but in shel¬ 
tered locations with protection they winter safely in Northern States 
though, perhaps, it is better to sow the seed annually in spring, 
and winter the young plants over in the cold frame. They are 
worth the trouble, making nice bushv plants H feet high, bearing 
in the spring long spikes of most deliciously fragrant flowers of 
various colors, crimson, purple, yellow, apricot, mahogany, pink, etc.
