 ever offered in a single packet. Plants and flowers are exceedingly 

 large, and If the flowers are kept cut, the plants will bloom raore pro- 

 fusely. Can recommend this strain as a very floriferous one. B'ine for 

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

Verbena, Burbank'S Mayflower. 



1878 BURBANK'S MAYFIiOWER. 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 desli-able for bou- 

 quets and decoi'ative 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 quite 

 well established. Packet, 10 cts.

 mon sorts, but less procumbent. It
