DRBKR'S MAMMOTH VERBENAS 



We have been carefully selecting and improving this fine strain 

 of Verbenas for years, and can recommend it as the very best pro- 

 ^ , curable. The trusses and individual flowers are of 



the largest size; of brilliant colors, free-blooming and 

 of vigorous habit. 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 cut- 

 tings, oeing more vigorous and not liable to disease. 

 We ofi"er the following colors:
