Dreer's Reliable FLOWER SEEDS 



Dreer's Verbenas 



©HA 



Colorful favorites for beds, borders, and for cutting, and equally as desirable for the 

 rock garden. For early blooms start indoors during February or March and plant out in 

 May. Excepting Venosa the varieties are all annuals. 



New Giant Verbena 



Giant Flowering Verbena 



Truly tremendous strides have been 

 made in the development of new Verbenas 

 and in consequence of this they are today 

 even more popular than in bygone years. 

 Another important advantage of this new 

 Giant Flowering Verbena over the older 

 type is the fact that a very large per- 

 centage of the seedlings come true to 

 color. Germination of the seed also is 

 considerably better than that of old types. 

 Most important, however, is the extra- 

 large size of the flowers and flower trusses 

 which give them considerably more dis- 

 play value than Verbenas ever had before.
