DREERS MAMMOTH VERBENAS 



We have been carefully selecting and improving this fine strain of 

 Verbenas for years, and can recommend it as the very best procurable. 

 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. We offer the follow- 

 ing colors:
