no plant excels it. In the varieties may be found every color from white through lilac and 
rose to purple and very dark p rplish blue, as well as striped sorts. If sown in open ground 
in May they will bloom in August, but if started in the hou~e in pots in winter they will flower sooner and may bo had 
in constant bloom from June even until after the early, light frosts. Seed should be soaked in lukewarm water before 
planting and care taken that the soil be very rich. Verbenas can be grown from cuttings, but seedlings are more 
vigorous and produce more flowers, all being showy and often the clusters have a delicate fragrance. Half hardy peren¬
