VERBENA ha 



A very popular bedding plant. The seeds come true to color, and 

 plants are of surprising vigor compared with plants grown from cut-

 ing; cover about one-fourth inch deep and firm the soil; water very 

 carefully; seeds may germinate during a period of fojr weeks or more. 

 Where plants have been bought and proved unsatisfactory, we would 

 urge a trial of seedlings; their freedom of bloom will repay any extra 

 care. Useful for bedding, vases, boxes, borders, etc.
