Henderson’s Mammoth Verbenas. This distinct and beautiful race originated with, and was 
first introduced and named, by us ‘‘Mammoth.”’ The average trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in 
circumference, and the individual florets on properly grown plants over 1 inch across—or larger 
than a 25c. silver piece. They bloom freely, are vigorous in growth, and contain all of the beau- 
tiful new colors and shades. Mixed colors. (See ctit.)..cececcccccccccecccccceccccececucuces 5550 10
