698. THE NEW RED SUNFLOWER— Grows strong and sturdy to a height 
of 7 to 9 feet — according to the richness of the soil and the sunny warmth 
of location — producing several large flowers of refined form, the rays wide 
and long, the disc or center small. The coloring varies from golden-yellow 
sp ashed with red to nearly all red, but the great majority will be Gaillar- 
dia colored — that is a wide or narrow zone of red surrounds the purplish- 
black center, the ends or tips of the petals of a rich golden-yellow color; 
this combination is very rich and effective. Of course a small proportion 
of the plants may produce all yellow flowers, but even these will be showy 
and desirable IS

VERBEiNA 
The Verbena is deservedly a great favorite, and no plant excels it in beds or 
borders. Sow in a hot bed or in boxes in the house, and prick out plants into 
small pots when two or three inches high, and afterwards plant out where intended 
to bloom. 
EWING'S MAMMOTH VERBENA 
The average trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in circumference and the individual 
florets on properly grown plants as large as a 25 cent silver piece. They bloom 
freely, are vigorous in growth, and contain beautiful new colors and shades. For 
garden beds and massing these Verbenas are unrivalled; flowers of the most bril- 
liant colors produced continually from spring until late in the autumn.
