 strains produce in greatest profusion very large florets 

 in large heads and of a great variety of extremely

The old favorite Sweet William, as all know, does not 

 flower until the second year from seed, but this new type 

 commences blooming in early summer from spring- 

 sown seed and continues in flower for several weeks. 

 The plants are of the same habit as the perennial kinds, 

 producing fine heads of bloom of various colors — white, 

 crimson, rose-pink, etc., many of which are broadly 

 edged with white and sweetly fragrant.

This distinct and beautiful race we originated, intro- 

 duced and named. The average trusses measure 9 to 12 

 inches in circumference and the individual florets on 

 properly grown plants over 1 inch across — or larger than 

 a 25c silver piece. They bloom freely, are vigorous in 

 growth, and contain beautiful new colors and shades. 

 For garden beds and massing these verbenas are un- 

 rivaled; flowers of the most brilliant colors produced con- 

 tinually from spring until late in the autumn. Although 

 perennials, these form luxuriant plants and bloom the 

 first season from seed.
