Beauty of Oxford Hybrid Verbenas 
Hybrida Grandiflora Type 
This beautiful, giant, hardy annual is a cross between the salmon, 
flesh, and coral Verbena, Luminosa, and the rose-colored Beauty of 
Oxford. While following closely the color of the latter, it inherits a 
touch of salmon-pink from its other parent, which gives a lovely 
softening effect to the somewhat harsh coloring of Beauty of Oxford, 
The color shades from clear rose-pink to rose-red, making this the 
brightest rose-colored Verbena ever produced from seed. The individ¬ 
ual florets measure over i inch in diameter, and will easily cover a 
silver half-dollar. The foliage is a dark cress-green. This beautiful 
subject will be welcomed as a distinct addition to the available colors 
in the large-flowered type. One may produce from seed those color 
effects hitherto only obtained by taking cuttings of Beauty of Oxford,
