The florists who went to Jamestown 

 with Secretary Gude and the Chamber 

 of Commerce had a fine time, and a 

 rougij one. Some say they went to see 

 the exposition; others say, to feed the

VERBENAS. 



The verbena affords another instance 

 of the revival of an old favorite; years 

 ago there were prizes offered for them 

 as pot plants at flower shows, but they 

 seemed to have been quite forgotten 

 until a few years ago, when H. J. Jones 

 exhibited some good pot plants of the 

 variety Miss Willmott, which has since 

 become such a popular market plant, 

 says a writer in the Horticultural Ad- 

 vertiser. I believe it was. Mr. Sweet 

 who, seeing it, recognized its value and 

 first grew it for market. Since this took 

 so well, other varieties have been grown. 

 Before referring to these I may say 

 that Miss Willmott varies in color, and 

 we have some improved selections. The 

 King is larger, but the lobes do not open 

 quite flat; Kew Pink appears to be a 

 better thing, the color being a rather 

 deeper shade of pink. The ordinary 

 form varies, and a careful selection 

 should be made for propagating from.

 not sell quite so well, as we have so 

 many other good scarlet flowers. Prin- 

 cess of Wales, purple blue, and Queen 

 of Whites are other sorts grown. 



The new sorts shown by May & Sons 

 include some distinct and pretty shades 

 of colors, and all had clear white eyes. 

 They are designated new "auricula-eyed 

 verbenas." Of the varieties shown, The 

 Queen, Favorite, Admirable, Pearl and 

 Unique were noted as being among the 

 best.
