The easiest, 

 surest, cheapest 

 and best way to 

 secure thrifty 

 Verbenas, with 

 abundant bloom, 

 is to raise the 

 plants from seed. 



Mammoth Verbenas. 



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

 bright and striking' colors. Argus-eyed, striped, mottled 

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

 mediate shades, with beautiful trusses often over 13 inches 

 in circumference. Start in boxes and transplant early, 

 and you will have a grand show. My seed is the genuine 

 Mammoth strain. Warranted equal to any. Packet, 150 

 seeds, 5c. ; \^ oz., 15c. 



VERBENA HYBRIDA. Packet, 150 seeds, 4c. 



Howard's Royal Splendor Verbena Seed. 



This New England Grown Strain is the result of over a 

 Quarter of a Century careful selection, with a view to 

 secure plants producing florets and blossoms of the largest 

 size, with the greatest range of beautiful colors and shades. 



Plants of this Strain are remarkably vigorous, compact 

 and healthy, flowering in the greatest profusion. 



The Royal Splendor has always taken the first prizes at 

 floral exhibitions, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 

 especially. Pkt., ) 00 het ds, 10c. ; 3 Ikls. lor vr5c.

 NEW VERBENA. ♦'Commandant 



Marchand." A well-fixed sport of the 

 famous V. "Aurora Borealis." The 

 flowers are remarkably large, of a dark 

 purplish red color, and are produced in 

 great abundance. Packet, 6c. 



NEW VERBENA. "Mayflower." 

 This Frag:rant Verbena is brightly 

 colored in most pleasing shades of pink. 

 Mr. Burbank has developed a strain in 

 which the flowers are of extra large size, 

 most lovely shades of pink, and more 

 pronouncedly fragrant than in any other 

 strain in cultivation. While this strain ic 

 fully equal to the best for bedding purposes 

 the delightful fragrance will add a distinct 

 value to the bright flowers when cut for 

 bouquets. Packet, 100 seeds, 6c. 



Prof. S. T. Maynard, of the Massachusetts 

 Agricultural College, an expert Horti- 

 culturist, says: "Your Royal Splendor 

 Verbenas are the most brilliant colored 

 and distinctly marked I have ever seen. 

 With such seed, there is little need to 

 "winter over named kinds. Send me another 

 ounce of the same seed." 



I can quote you a low price on Verbena Plants, if you Avish them.
