_TITHONIA AVALON EARLIEST 
For great spectacular effects, green walls set with flowers 
of living flame, no other tall annual surpasses, or even 
approaches this very easy and gorgeous Tithonia. The big 
long-stemmed blossoms range from orange topaz, through 
tangerine, to those with burnished over-sheen of scarlet fire. 
Sow seed when soil is warm and weather settled. This is 
our own selection, made from Tithonia tagetiflora, earlier 
in flowering than any strain we have grown or seen of the 
more usual Tithonia speciosa. ecbk(3-5)65. Pkt. lbc; %

LINARIA 
PANCICI 
LILIU: 
FORMOSANUM 
VERBASCUM 
PHOENICEUM 
TRIPTERIS HYOSEROIDES—ek(2)18. One of the prettier 
among the several desirable daisy flowers that have come to 
us from South Africa. There is an airiness and grace 
about it that sets off the soft yellow blossoms. Our word 
for it, you will like it. Pkt. 15c. 
TORENIA BLEND—erbk (4-5)12. Its richly velvety blossoms 
suggest in form and coloring, that manifest absurdity, a 
eross of Pansy and Snapdragon. They are sky-blue and 
royal purple, touched with gold; or sometimes white, marked 
rose. For beds, borders, window boxes or even as a pot 
plant. Pkt. 15¢; 4/16 oz. 35c. 
MONARCH DAISY—eckt(8)25. Selections here of Venidium 
fastuosum. Great Daisies, to 4 inches across, scarce two 
alike. Melting pastel tones; cream, primrose, buff, lemon, 
orange, usually with jagged black zoning. Sparkling foli- 
age. Cuts well. Everblooming. Pkt. 20c; 1/se oz. 35c. 
VINCA ROSEA MIXED—ecx(8)18. Madagascar Periwinkle. 
Lovely waxy flowers of white, pink and rose. Foliage glossy 
succulent. Easy from seed. Usually grown as a garden 
annual, but makes good window pot plant, too. Pkt. 10c; 
% oz. 20ce. 
TAHOKA DAISY 
By all means the most satisfactory Blue Daisy for summer 
bloom. It flowers for months, starting in June from sow- 
ings made in early spring. May be sown either where 
plants are to stand, or they will transplant easily. Can 
also be sown in very late fall, to get earliest spring bloom. 
Big splendid daisies of pure blue-lavender, fading to rose, 
with little golden yellow centers that stay yellow. The 
foliage is fine and fern-like, flower stems of good length, 
cutting and lasting qualities excellent. Summer heat does 
not stop its blooming. It was, incidentally, ourselves who 
first introduced this flower to the Seed Trade, and to the 
gardening public, and we believe that our strain of it, 
being selected introducer’s stock, is unexcelled. Illustrated

THE TOBATY VERBENA 
Splendid new tall Verbena from the Arroya Tobaty of 
Paraguay. It grows to three feet of height, and comes 
about as near to being ever-blooming as an annual well 
may, starting in June and continuing until November. 
Each of the many slender branching stems is topped with 
a large flat cluster of soft blue blossoms, and a planting 
of it is strikingly decorative, not to be known as Verbena 
save upon close inspection. The Tobaty Verbena is a giant 
variant of Verbena bonariensis, immeasurably superior to 
the old type of that species, though even that was good 
enough to receive a Royal Horticultural Society Award of 
Merit. Compared with the original type, the Tobaty Ver- 
bena has vastly more. blossoms open at one time, the 
clusters are much larger and more massively compact, while 
the size of the individual floret has been more than doubled. 
Sow Tobaty in earliest spring or latest fall. A bit slow in 
germinating, but very sure. TIilustrated page 22. Pkt. 25c;
