LAVENDER 
Lavender —(Lavendula vera) The lovely 
scent of lavender has come to be associ¬ 
ated in our minds with cleanliness be¬ 
cause of its wide use as a perfume for 
soaps and toilet preparations. Sometimes 
used as a flavoring for foods. Much 
used for sachets to perfume clothes and 
bed sheets. Some protection is needed 
here in Wisconsin to carry it over win¬ 
ter, together with a well drained soil.

dozen. Seeds, 10c per pkt.

grance is supposed to be stronger the 
darker the flower. Each 35c; 3 for 95c. 
Lavendula delphinensis — In appearance 
this variety looks like L. vera but we 
have found it more winter hardy. Each

Lavender Cotton —(Santolina incana) Neat 
gray foliage with the scent of lavender. 
Much used as a border for formal beds. 
Trims easily to an even height. Gener¬ 
ally considered a tender perennial but it 
has survived the last three winters with 
me with little or no protection. Each 
15c; 12 for $1.50; $12.00 per 100. 
Lemon Verbena —(Aloysia citriodora) Ten¬ 
der perennial. The leaves have a delicious 
clean cool restful scent of lemon. Dried

as a flavor for salads or drinks. Must 
be carried over winter as a house plant,
