VINCA (Madagascar Periwinkle) 
2745 Vinca, New African Phlox-Flowered (Periwinkle). 
Hardy perennial 15 inches high. Everywhere this plant 
increases in demand because the glossy green foliage is 
attractive even when the plant is not in bloom. Giant 
Phlox-like flowers often measuring two inches in diameter 
and borne in clusters. Comes in a riot of shades of rose, 
pink and white. Pkt. 15c. 
1203  Torenia (Wishbone Flower). We believe this to be 
one of the most delightful annuals for border, window- 
boxes, or massed effects in moist shady places. Flowers 
have dark purple tubes, a deep blotch of velvety purple 
on the lobes of the corolla, the uppermost lobe cleverly 
creased, together with the united stamens, which give 
the entire large flower a wishbone shape. It is an easily 
grown, exotic-looking annual. Pkt. 25c.
