Verbena ha 



Vinca or Madagascar Periwinkle 



We think so well of Verbenas as flowers deserving a place in every home garden that we 

 gave them the place of honor on the back cover of this catalogue. The umbels shown 

 will give you but a faint idea of what fully developed Verbena plants, carrying dozens of 

 these beautiful flowers, would look like in your garden. What impresses us most of all 

 in connection with Verbenas is their utter dependability. They had a very poor spot 

 indeed in our trial-grounds. Notwithstanding, they proved that they might truly be 

 called the flower for all seasons. They thrive and bloom handsomely until frost.
