The Verbena is one of the richest of all recent acquisitions to the Amer- a 
ican Flower Garden. It is multiplied and cultivated with so much ease, Be 
that none need be without it; indeed, it is indispensoble where flowers 
are cultivated at all. It blooms in the greatest profusion the whole sum- A 
mer through, and until the ground is frozen hard in the fall. It is pecu- | 
liarly adapted to our hot and dry climate—when all else seems to shrink 4 
and wither, the Verbena is brightest ; being a trailing plant, it shows to 
the greatest advantage, when planted in sroups on raised beds or mounds. i 
It is also a beautiful pot plant, when furnished with a slender frame-work 
to spread on.

splendid collection of Col. Wilder, of Boston. ; 
No other family of plants has excited so much attention and admira- 
tion within the last two or three years, as these, since their introduction 
from Japan. They surpass all the other of the Lily tribe in beauty and 
fragrance. They have, so far, been held at enormous prices, and at the 
present moment they are advertised, in European catalogues, at $1 to | 
$20 each, according to the size of the bulbs and rarity of the sort. f
