originated in Italy. Prom their first introduction Mr. W. Bull has given particular attention to th s

Verbena seed, like mam/ others, germinates more readily when sown in light rich sod in the open ground , 
during the months of June and July; from thence they can be thinned out , potted, and protected m 
frames during winter. If, however, they are required for blooming the same season as sown, the seed, 
should be sown in pans early in February and placed in a gentle heat, prick out into store pots, and when 
established transfer to the open borders.
