TROPAEOLUM (Naaturtium) 
CANARIENSE. S«e CANARY BIRD FLOWER. 
VERBENA 
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 pnck 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 contam beautiful 
new colors and shades. For garden beds and massing these Verbenas are unrivalled; flowers of the most 
brilliant colors produced continually from spring until late in the autumn.
