 To hasten bloom it is better to start the seed indoors. The plants should 

 stand about a foot apart in the open ground, and the flowers should be 

 cut frequently. Seedling verbenas are stronger than others. 



Verbena, Burbank-s Mayflower. 



1970 BURBANK'S MAYFLOWER. Arbutus scented. This ver- 

 bena is of bright and pleasing shades of pink, of extraordinary size and 

 free blooming habit. Its chief claim to popularity, as developed by 

 Mr. Burbank, is its fragrance, which resembles the Trailing Arbutus or 

 Mayflower. This fact gave it its 

 name. It is very desirable for bou- 

 quets and decorative purposes, and 

 is unsurpassed as a bedder. It was 

 originated by Mr. Burbank by a 

 long continued selection from sweet 

 scented sorts. The type is now well 

 established. Packet, 10 cents.

 mon sorts, but less procumbent. It

 rious colors. Flower with large 

 white eye. No variety gives a more

 beds, borders, vases or window boxes. All colors mixed.
