MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK 



I he easiest, 

 J u r e st, cheapest 

 and best way to 

 secure thrifty 

 Verbenas, with 

 abundant bloom, 

 is to raise the 

 plants from seed.

Ihese flowers are often as large as a 25-cent piece, of 

 oright and striking colors. Argus-eyed, striped, mottled 

 and zoned, clear pink, scarlet, white and a hundred inter-

 N am'morh strain. "Warranted equal to any. Packet, lOc. 

 '/8OZ., ISc. Plants at $1.00 per doz. 



VERBENA HVBRIDA. Packet, Sc. 



Verbena Odorata. it is so hardy, seed can be sown 

 in the Oi-en ground early in the spring, where they will 

 quickly germinate, and in a few weeks be in bloom and give 

 a great profusion of beautiful blossoms all summer. The 

 Dl.-ssoms, instead of being in clusters like other sorts, run 

 IP in' os,jikes, usually' 3 or 4 inches long. Very sweet-scen-

.Afo^C Vorhonn Vtnnf This new Verbena produces a 

 JVIOSS Ueroena fiani. ^^^^ ^^ ^^e moss-llke foliage, 

 and as the branches spread out over the ground in all directions, a 

 lovely carpet of mossy green is formed, above which are borne the 

 delicate clusters of purple-blue blossoms in the wildest profusion. 

 The effect is most charming. It is more hardy and robust than most 

 Verbenas, and blooms in a very short time from seed. It is so de. 

 sirable, novel and; beautiful that it must be classed as one of the 

 great acquisitions. Packet, Sc.
