and Fragrance 



VERBENA [tP] Do you remember a sunny 

 bare place that was an eyesore in the flower 

 border last summer? Or some other spot 



that would have been improved by low- 

 growing plants with a dash of color? You 

 will make no mistake by choosing Verbenas 

 for such a need in your next year's garden.

Can you imagine anything 

 more colorful than a driveway 

 bordered with Verbenas? Why 

 not try it yourself, this year? 



And what could be gayer than 

 a bowl of the bright blossoms 

 on the dining room table? 



These popular dwarf creeping plants produce dark green 

 foliage enlivened by many fine clusters of star-shaped 

 blossoms with rounded lobed petals. The colors are refresh- 

 ing in their brilliancy. Verbena will flower from mid- 

 summer to frost from seeds started early in the spring.

Hybrida [8 in.] The ever-reliable bedding type, very florifer- 

 ous and producing clusters of fine blossoms of good size. 



There is a wide range of colors — vivid pink, bright 

 scarlet, deep violet-blue. Some flowers have light-colored 

 centers which make them distinctive. This variety is very 

 desirable for rock gardens, as well as for low borders, on 

 account of the plant's trailing habits. They are also 

 excellent in window and porch boxes combined with flowers 

 of taller habits. 



Scarlet (Defiance) Fiery red 

 with small white eye.
