relatively unknown before this time. Cupid is the perfect 
pot or edging Marigold bearing 214 to 3 inch lemon-yellow 
flowers on a compact 8 inch plant. Now that seed is 
available on this item, be sure and try it. Pkt. 35c.

double. A new flower destined for popularity. Pkt. 25c.

other Verbena that usually show bare spots. Sparkle, too, is the 
sharpest color yet offered in Verbena bearing flowers bright scarlet
