Henderson's Mammoth Verbenas. 



Altogether distinct and surprisingly beautiful. The average 

 trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in circumference, and the individual 

 florets over 1 inch across — or larger than a 25c. silver piece — on 

 properly grown plants. They bloom freely, are vigorous in 

 growth, and contain all of the beautiful new colors and shades, and 

 will be found even better than heretofore, as we have given great 

 care in selecting and improving the type. (See cut.) Mixed colors, 25c. 



TOM THUMB VERBENAS. 



Dwarf and compact, not exceeding 6 inches in height ; the 

 branches are only one-half the length of the old varieties, and form 

 almost circular bushes about 2 feet in diameter. Flowers are large 

 and well formed, of various beautiful colors. Mixed, 25 cts.
