VERBENA BIPINNATIFIDA 
A very lovely thing, this, piled mounds of twice-pinnate 
foliage, set over with big, flattened blue blossom clusters, 
an effulgent, sun-reflecting tone. In continuous bloom for 
months. Unsurpassed for unusual bedding effects. Really 
a hardy perennial, but qualifies as a courtesy annual, for it 
comes into bloom as quickly as the quickest of annual Ver- 
benas from spring-sown seeds. A long-lasting and effective 
cut flower. Our fullest recommendations. 16 inches. Illus- 
trated page 26. Pkt. 15c; 1/16 oz. 25c; % oz. 40c. 
GIANT-FLOWERED VERBENAS 
Great trusses of colorful blossoms from early summer to 
latest autumn. Ideal for edgings, bedding, ground cover or 
in porch boxes. Cuts well. Likes full sun. We offer here 
seeds of the Giant-flowered Strain, in carefully balanced 
mixture, salmon, pale pink, rich rose, vivid red, scarlet, 
cardinal, white, lavender and varied brilliant blues. We 
have seen no larger-flowered strain than this; doubt that 
there is one, though it may be possible for you to pay 
double the price for the hope of it, if that be your desire.

BUTTER-DAISY 
Perhaps the greatest of the many merits of the Butter- 
Daisy, Verbesina encelioides, is its value as a summer cut- 
flower; it makes a splendid one, and lasts long in water. 
The plants grow to forty inches, start blooming in early 
June, and are still yielding good bloom at the end of 
October. The blossoms are big and daisy-like, built of a 
few wide, overlapping petals with jagged ends. The petals 
are glistening butter-yellow, the centers small, fluffed, rather 
deeper yellow. Culture of the easiest; just sow where it is 
to stand, and it will be up and growing strongly within 
a few days. Illustrated page 22. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c; % oz. 
35c; 1 oz. $1.25. 
IMP-VIOLETS . 
The Imp-Violets are pleasant flowers, quaint and endear- 
ing Pansy-miniatures. Some folk call them Johnny-jump-up, 
but that name really belongs to the primitive true Pansies, 
not to these at all. They are prettier, lower-growing, more 
truly satisfactory than any real Johnny-jump-up. 
VIOLA NIGRA—The Black Imp. Blossoms that might have 
been snipped from black velvet. It is about the closest to 
black of any flower, the merest hint only of violet suffusion, 
and it comes true from seed. Of an exceeding floriferous- 
ness. Gives about a three month bloom-show. May be 
naturalized. You will always be glad that you have sown 
Black Imp. Pkt. 10c; 1/16 oz. 25c; %& oz. 40c; %4 oz. 70c. 
VIOLA SAXATILIS—Blossoms that are flutter-winged bits 
of diminutive Pansy charm, myriad flowers carried well 
over the low, spreading plants. ‘There will be golden yel- 
low, lemon, lavender, mauve and rosy lilac, but most plenti- 
ful, and most lovable, are the two-tone ones, where a mel- 
low honey-gold melts into smoky violet. It’s an Imp 0’ 
the Rocks, exile from brave cliffs of Greece. Pkt. 20c. 
THE SLEEPY DAISY 
Call it Star of Texas if you must, but the real folk-name 
of it, the name by which every-day people in the area where 
it is native know it, is Sleepy Daisy. And it really is a 
sort of “‘can’t-get-em-up”’ affair, for the flowers stay closed 
until nine or ten o’clock (due allowance by all means for 
daylight saving), then of a sudden they are widely open, 
up and awake for the day. Not to hold the technically 
minded longer in suspense, all this is about that gay golden 
brightness that is Xanthisma texanum. The blossoms are 
some two inches across, mostly petal, only a tiny center. 
The petals place in closely over-lapping form, and at an angle 
with the disc, giving a salver-shaped bloom. It is in con- 
stant flowering for months on end, enjoying heat and full 
sun, with no overwhelming objections to a bit of drought 
on the side. It is such a gleaming, shining yellow that a 
bed of it at mid-day will make you shade your eyes. Mighty 
good cut flower, too. Fine foliage. 20 inches. Sow it early 
and plentifully. Illustrated page 24. Pkt. 15c; 1% oz. 30c; 
% oz. 50c; 1 oz. $1.60.
