Verbenas 
Plants from seed sown early in spring keep 
their beds gay with flowers from midsummer 
until frost. They are trailing in habit, and wide- 
spreading, loving a rich, sandy soil, plenty of 
room, and full sunshine. 
Mammoth Varieties. This superb annua! 
strain is a great improvement on the older 
varieties, both in size and color of flowers and 
habit of plants. The florets average an inch 
in diameter, and have clearly defined margins 
and large, white centers. The trusses are 
large in proportion, and borne in great pro¬ 
fusion upon robust, vigorous plants. Pink, 
Purple, Scarlet, White, and Mixed Colors.
