Torenia Fournieri 
Browallia Speciosa Major 
Another blue annual that grows best in partial 
shade. The flowers are a bright blue with a small 
amount of white in the throat and vary from a nickel 
to a quarter in size. A very profuse bloomer and 
exceedingly good as a cut-flower, with stems from 
4 to 8 inches long. Works in well with most all 
short-stemmed flowers to give that real blue which 
we sometimes have difficulty mn finding. Growing 
height about 2 feet. 
Prices: 21%-1n., 10c. each; $1.00 per doz.

<—<«< Torenia Fournieri 
An annual that thrives in both shade and sun. 
The bloom looks like a cross between a Snapdragon 
(with the tube-like structure) and a Viola with the 
sky-blue, dark blue, and white markings. This is 
another blue flower that combines well with the 
Tuberous-rooted Begonia, both in bedding and as a 
cut-flower. This is one of the lesser-known annuals 
that we never seem to have enough of. Growing 
height 1 to 11% feet. 
21-in., 10c. each; $1.00 per doz.

Browallia speciosa major 
Heliotrope, Royal Fragrance 
This is another old plant that has lost favor 
&” because people planted it in the sun, but ts 
now rapidly coming into its own again when 
planted in partial shade. 
As long as Tuberous-rooted Begonias have no 
odor nor blue shades in their color-range, we 
suggest using a few Heliotrope, Royal Fragrance 
(the most sweet-scented and darkest blue), 
planted in the same bed to give the contrasting 
blue and the sweet Heliotrope odor. 
Truly one of the old favorites that still can’t be 
beat if planted in partial shade. 
Prices: 214-in. pot-grown plants, 10c. each; 
$1.00 per doz. 4-in. pot-grown plants, 35c. each, 
and some larger sizes at proportionate prices.
