Es FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES: ||] 
Verbenas have long been one of the most popular subjects in the flower garden, producing their clusters “of showy flowers in 
constant succession from early summer till late fall, and are used extensively in beds, borders, baskets, vases, etc,, and are or 
special value to use as a ground cover in beds containing Lilies, Roses, Gladioli, and similar plants, and make an effective edging 
to a shrubbery border. For best and quickest results, seed should be sown early in the house or hotbed and transplanted to 
flowering quarters in May. If sown outdoors as soon as danger from frost is past, they will bloom from July on.
