Dreer's Mammoth Verbena. 



MAMMOTH VERBENA. 



The flowers are very large, of brilliant colors and 

 have large, distinct eyes. We consider the Mammoth 

 Verbena one of the very best new things ofl'ered for many 

 years. In coloring they excel the old varieties, are of 

 vigorous habit and free-blooming, and are the most attrac- 

 tive of the class. 



The seed we otfer is the True Mammoth, and is not 

 the Large Flowering German variety which we find 

 worthless here.
