DREER’S MAMMOTH VERBENAS 
(Illustrated in colors on plate facing page 53.) 
We have been carefully selecting and improving 
this fine strain of Verbenas for years, and can rec- 
ommend it as the very best procurable. 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 in May, it 
blooms from the end of July on. Verbenas are 
better grown from seed than from cuttings, being 
more vigorous and not liable to disease.
