EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Novelty Flower Seeds 



New Verbena Colossal 



We offer this new race of Verbenas now quite fixed 

 in character, and we are convinced that the beauty [ 4?y 



and size of the flowers, the richness of the coloring 

 combined with a vigorous and free-flowering habit, 



will ensure a great future. The llower-heads bear nBr~ ^y 4^*WI /it Ht 



blooms exceeding an inch and a quarter in diameter. ^B 

 What we offer is an entirely new class, which we are 

 calling "Colossea." and the difference between this 



and the Mammoth is as great as that between the ^M !► -9 \jm 



latter and the ordinary Verbena hybrida. JmW

A wonderful improvement of the ordinary type, this 

 grand strain contains many new colors including straw, 

 cream and many rose tints. While a hardy perennial, it 

 blooms the same season if the seed is sown early in the 

 spring. (See illustration.)
