 start the seed indoors during February or March and transplant to 

 flowering quarters during May. Sown outdoors in May the plants 

 wiU begin blooming in July. E.xcepting the Venosa varieties all 

 Verbenas listed here are annuals. 



Giant-Flowering Verbena ® 



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 

 these new Giant-Flowering Verbenas over the older t>-pe is the 

 .fact that a very large percentage of the seedlings come true to 

 color. Germination of the seed also is considerably better and of 

 course the extra large size of the flower trusses gives them con- 

 siderably more display value.
