VERBENA ODORATA--(Sweet Scented. ) 



NO GARDEN FLOWER MORE EASILY GROWN. 

 Perfect Mass of Bloom All Summer. 



This lovely Verbena possesses three great points of merit over other varieties 

 First, it is so hardy: seeds can be sown in the open ground early in the spring, 

 where they will quickly germinate, grow rapidly, and in a few weeks be in bloom 

 and give a great profusion of beautiful blossoms all summer. Second, the 

 blossoms, instead of being in clusters like other sorts, run up into 

 spikes usually .3 or 4 inches long, as shown in cut. Third, it is very 

 sweet scented. The flower is pure white, the plant short jointed and 

 dwarf, and it always comes perfectly true from seed. Pkt. 200 

 seeds 10c.
