THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



NEW GIANT VERBENA (Hybrida Grandiflora). 



This New Giant Strain 

 is absolutely the largest 

 flowering Verbena that 

 can be grown from seed. 



As will be seen by the en- 

 graving, the trusses of flow- 

 ers are of enormous size and 

 symmetrical appearance, each 

 individual floret being perfectly 

 formed. We offer a splendid 

 mixture of seed, embracing all 

 beautiful colors, shades and 

 markings. The seed should be 

 started in boxes or hot-beds, and 

 plants set out when three or 

 four inches hieh ; you can then 

 have new Verbenas at a 

 trifling cost that will give you 

 as large and perfect flowers as 

 expensive Verbena plants. 30 

 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 50 cts.; 

 4 pkts. for $1.
