3552—VERBENA HYBRIDA COMPACTA 
TYPE (Edging Verbenas) 
These are distinct from all other types of Verbena, 
very compact, dwarf, and free flowering. The color 
range is very wide, in bright shades. They are excel¬ 
lent for the annual rock garden in a sunny position, 
for borders or edgings, or for window boxes or pots. 
Mixed, pkt. 10c 
3555—Venosa Lilacina—1 ft. Largely used for bed¬ 
ding purposes; strong, thrifty grower, covered with 
bright heliotrope flowers. Seeds are slow to germi¬ 
nate. Should be sown in the house before March. 
Blooms until frost, hardy with protection. Pkt. 10c. 
*VIOLA CORNUTA 
(Tufted Pansy) 
There are few bedding plants so dependable, color¬ 
ful and persistent in blooming over a long period as 
the tufted daisies. While the individual flowers are 
smaller than the regular pansy, they are produced 
in such profusion that the beds are a sheet of bloom 
through the entire season. Like the pansies they are 
gross feeders and thrive best in light but rich soil. 
3560—Apricot—A beautiful rich apricot shade, 
tinted orange toward the center. Pkt. 25c. 
3564—Arkwright Ruby—Bright ruby crimson shaded 
terra cotta with central markings; fragrant. Pkt. 25c

pact and the color is of intense blue, bluest of all.

3576—Blue Perfection—Deep bright blue. Pkt. 15c. 
3580—Jersey Gem—Forms a large, compact plant, 
producing a continuous profusion of bloom for a very 
long period. The flowers are a very pleasing shade of 
deep violet-blue, with an occasional very slight varia¬ 
tion in tint, and may be relied upon to come about 
75% true from seed. A great feature of this fine 
variety is its wonderful power of resisting drought, 
the plants continuing to throw up flowers long after 
other varieties are withered up. Pkt. 25c. 
3583— Purple—Pkt. 15c. 
3584— White Perfection—Large pure white. Pkt. 15c 
3585— Cornuta, Mixed Colors—Colorful blend of the 
above and others. Pkt. 15c. 
3587—*VIOLET (Viola Odorata) 
(Sweet Violet) 
No garden is complete without a nice bed of violets. 
They bloom ahead of other flowers, and their fragrance 
is delightful. They will thrive in shady places and 
therefore can be planted where other plants will not do 
well. A violet bed around the foot of a big shade tree 
is very attractive. Provide good rich soil and after you 
once get a bed established you can get any number of 
plants by dividing the roots. Hardy perennial. Pkt. 10c 
VIRGINIAN STOCK—(French 
Forget-me-not) 
French Forget-me-nots are fast growing, early 
flowering little plants for spring use In the annual 
rock garden or as 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 later on by them.

quired in a neatly laid out flower garden the “Wild”

3642—ZINNIA FANTASY (“Star Dust”) 
2*4-3 ft. This deep golden-yellow selection of the 
Fantasy strain will be welcome to those who believe 
that yellow is the best zinnia color. Fantasy type 
flowers have shaggy, ray-like petals, recalling the 
cactus dahlias. They are of medium size and flower 
in 45 to 50 days from sowing. Pkt. 20c. 
3645—ZINNIA FAN¬ 
TASY MIXED 
New zinnias are always 
welcomed by home growers 
and florists alike. While the 
giant flowered varieties are 
still popular, the trend of 
late years has been toward 
the smaller flowered, more 
graceful strains. This new 
Fantasy Mixture meets this 
demand in all details: the 
rounded flowers are com¬ 
posed of a mass of shaggy 
ray-like petals which give 
a delicate and refined ap¬ 
pearance to the medium 
sized double flowers, large 
enough to satisfy the desire for mass of color, yet 
small enough to lend themselves gracefully to flower 
arrangement. The color range includes the brightest 
shades of reds and orange, as well as the popular pas¬ 
tel pinks and cream. Pkt. 15c. 
3650—ZINNIA DESERT GOLD (Bodger) 
Several years ago we introduced the fascinating 
new zinnia. Crown O’ Gold, in mixture. The yellow 
and gold shades in this mixture were immediately pro¬ 
claimed the most attractive and sought after as sep¬ 
arate colors. We are very happy now to offer these 
shades as Desert Gold, a va¬ 
riety containing the light 
and deep hues of gold, each 
petal overlaid at the base 
with a deeper golden yefllow, 
giving a charming bicolor 
combination. Those who ap¬ 
preciate the finest in zinnias 
will welcome Desert Gold.
