MAMMOTH VERBENAS 
10c each; 12 for $1.00; 100 for $6.00 
Next to the Geranium the Verbena is the most popular and use¬ 
ful of bedding plants. The collection we offer is as fine a collection 
as could be found on this continent, containing the most brilliant 
colors and some rigid fragrant varieties. In order to keep the plant 
in the best condition, cut all faded flowers off, and even a severe 
trimming or clipping tends to strengthen the plants and keep them 
in better shape for late flowering. With proper care your Verbenas 
may be kept in blossom long after other flowers have gone. 
When given a rich, moist soil, where they are protected from the 
afternoon sun of summer, and the plants kept well enriched, there 
is nothing more attractive than a mass of well-developed specimen 
Hydrangeas. 
SPECIAL NOTE —Blue is a color that is not fixed in Hydrangeas. 
It is controlled sometimes by climatic, and other times by soil con¬ 
ditions. To make these Hydrangeas bloom blue, incorporate one-half 
pound of alum with each bushel of soil.
