Stokesia Cyanea 
STOKESIA CYANEA (Cornflower Aster). 
This is not new but it as rare and beautiful 
hardy perennial. The plant grows about 2 
feet high bearing from twenty to thirty hand¬ 
some lavender-blue cornflower-like blossoms, 
which often measure 3 to 4 inches in diameter. 
One of the choicest subjects for the perennial 
border and indispensable for cutting. Pkt., 
15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
Tithonia Speciosa Gmndi- 
flora Fireball 
Dazzling as a ball of fire, poised high above 
other fiowers. Fireball is, undoubtably, the 
last word in brilliance of color in a fall 
blooming plant. Many have known and en¬ 
joyed Tithonia Speciosa (Aztec Daisy) and 
have considered it the brightest flower for 
fall use. With the introduction, however, of 
Fireball, this older variety is entirely over¬ 
shadowed. Fireball is a very brilliant, vibrant 
shade of scarlet orange, the petals in dazzling 
contrast to the clear yellow center. The gaily 
colored flowers ai-e single, very large, four 
to five inches in diameter and are carried 
on fine long st»ms. The plants are rather tall, 
however, they do not become ragged looking 
as in the older type. It is extremely showy 
in the garden and an excellent cut flower 
variety, the flowers keeping from five to six 
days when cut. Pkt., 25c; 5 for $1.00. 
Virginian Stock 
VIRGINIAN STOCK (French Forget-me- 
not). Fi-ench Forget-me-nots are fast grow 
ing, 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 mixture or 
in the separate colors of rose, crimson and 
white which are offered. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 
25c. 
Everlasting Sweet Pea 
EVERLASTING SWEET PEA (Lathryus). 
This is the perennial Sweet Pea. An excellent 
vining plant with branches 8 to 10 feet long, 
blooms freely in the late spring and early 
summer, is perfectly hai-dy. Pkt., 20c; 3 pkts., 
50c. 
Venidium 
Datura 
DATURA (Trumpet Flower). A handsome 
ornamental annual easily grown, having large 
showy white flowers. Excellent to be planted 
in the background as the bush grows about 
3 feet tall, flowering continuously through¬ 
out the summer. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
Double Rose Morning Glory 
DOUBLE ROSE MORNING GLORY. An 
early free flowering, clear deep rose, double 
flowered morning glory which makes a quick 
growth, well covered with flowers. As the 
flowers are double they give the appearance 
of being open even after the othere in the 
garden have closed for the day. An excellent 
combination with the Blue Mexican Morning 
Glory. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
Venidium Fastuosum 
Verbena Hybrida Grondi- 
ilora Crimson Glow 
Verbena Crimson Glow is the finest and 
deepest red shade available in this popular 
garden flower. Rich, glowing crimson, the 
flowers are a solid mass of color, making 
a striking bed or border in the garden. Un¬ 
like other red verbena varieties, there is no 
contrasting lighter eye to detract from the 
color tone. Individual florets are of good size, 
about an inch in diameter, carried in full 
clustei’s which are freely produced through¬ 
out the summer weeks. For a brilliant, in¬ 
tense crimson accent in the garden, use 
CRIMSON GLOW. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
Verbena 
VERBENA BEAUTY OF OXFORD HY¬ 
BRID. For many years the non-seeding va¬ 
riety of Beauty of Oxford has been a favorite 
verbena. This new strain is the nearest ap¬ 
proach in a seeding variety to the bright 
deep rose pink shade of Beauty of Oxford. 
The individual floweretts measure over 1 inch 
in diameter, they are half as large again 
as Beauty of Oxford and will easily cover a 
silver dollar. The foliage is a dark green. 
This beautiful verbena will be welcomed as 
a distinct addition to the verbena family. Pkt., 
25c; 2 pkts., 45c. 
LAVENDER GLORY VERBENA. Mammoth 
verbena. Lavender Glory. Here we have a new 
color, being true lavender, with a creamy 
white eye. The individual flowers, strikingly 
beautiful, are mu*.!) larger than those found in 
verbenas of the. oi dinary type. Distinctly fra¬ 
grant and a flower of great merit. Pkt., 25c; 
5 pkts., $1.00. 
VENIDIUM. A new Daisy from Africa, 
growing 2 to 3 feet high, having a gray¬ 
ish silky foliage with numerous orange flow¬ 
ers, which are marked with a purple black

location. Pkt., 25c.

tained in this pretty little marigold,

dwarf, having a spread of 8 to 10 
inches, orange flowers on plants 
which are very excellent for cut 
flowers. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c.
