DREER'§ MAMMOTH VERBENAS. 



We have been carefully selecting and improving this fine strain of Ver- 

 benas for years, and can recommend it as the very best procurable. The 

 trusses and individual flowers are of the largest size, of brilliant colors, free- 

 blooming and of vigorous habit. For best results seed should be sown 

 early in the house or hotbed, and transplanted to flowering quarters in May. 

 Verbenas are better grown from seed than from cuttings, being 

 more vigorous and not liable to disease. (See cut.)

TRITOMA. 



IKed-liot Foker, Flame Flower, or

4330 Hybrida. The introduction of 

 new, early and continuous flow- 

 ering Trilomas has given them 

 a prominent place among hardy 

 bedding plants. It is not gener- 

 ally known that they are readily 

 grown from seed, many flowering 

 the first year if sown early. The 

 seed- we offer has been saved from 

 our own collection, which is un- 

 doubtedly the finest in this coun- 

 try. Of course, for immediate 

 results it will be better to get 

 plants, but raising them from seed 

 is highly interesting 25
