VERBENA 



The Verbena has been wonderfully improved during the past flf ty years in form and size of flower truss and thrives 

 particularly well in American soil. For masses in beds on the lawn, no plant excels it. In the varieties may be found 



every color from white through lilac and rose to purple and very 

 dark purplish blue. If sown in open ground in May they will bloom 

 in August, but if started in the house in pots in winter they will 

 flower sooner and may be had in constant bloom from June even 

 until after the early, light frosts. Seed should be soaked in luke- 

 warm water before planting and care taken that the soil be very 

 rich. Verbenas can be grown from cuttings but seedlings are more 

 vigorous and produce more flowers, all being showy and often 

 the clusters have a delicate fragrance. Half hardy perennial trailer 

 which has gained much in popularity through treatment as an 

 annual.
