VERBE'NA. Vervain. (From the Celtic Ferfain. 

 Nat. ord. Verbenas [Verbenaces]. Linn. i^-Didynamia, 

 2-Angiospermia.) 



Annuals and biennials, by seed in a slight hotbed in 

 March, or in the open air in April ; perennials, by division, 

 layers, and cuttings ; tender kinds, chiefly by cuttings, 

 unless when seed is employed to obtain new varieties. 

 These varieties are struck generally in spring and autumn 

 for blooming in pots, but chiefly for decorating the 

 flower-garden beds. A rich, sandy loam suits them best. 

 The points of the shoots in spring strike best in a little 

 heat. In autumn they can scarcely be kept too cool. 

 The smallest piece w ill form a better plant than a larger 

 piece.
