H. & S. GIANT VERBENAS" 



For several years we have been growing verbenas with the object in 

 view of obtaining an improved mammoth (lowered strain. The success 

 of our efforts has been well demonstrated, especially on the Pacific 

 coast, by the introduction of our two unsurpassed novelties. Crimson 

 King and Scarlet Queen. Both of these varieties, however, are sterile 

 and produce no seed whatever and being such bad shippers arc not yet 

 known in the east. In our attempts to increase the size, we have 

 secured a strain which is fairly free seeding, bearing very large blos- 

 soms and trusses. Colors range from pure white through the various 

 shades of rose, crimson, scarlet, purple, etc. Those who grow bedding 

 plants for spring sales will find these something different. Mixed 

 colors — trade packet, $1.00.
