NEW VERBENA “REALLY BLUE.” 
This unique and interesting variety supplies the tong felt desideratum among bedding Verbenas, 
viz., a really blue variety. This is not only of a rich blue colour, but its habit is free, close and 
compact, just as a bedding Verbena should be ; it wiU therefore be immensly valuable for that purpose, 
as well as for riband oi-namentation and all out-door decorations. 
The dense style and growth of this variety, its extremely floriferous character and pleasing colour, 
make it admirably adapted for ribbon borders, and any out-door decoration where contrast is 
required ; 3s. fid. 
A well-executed drawing of it, by Andbews, can be seen at my Establishment.
