Odorata. 'Phis lovely Verbena possesses three great 
points of merit over other varieties, and they are 
such important ones that it will become a necessity 
to every garden. First, it is so Imrdy, seed can bo 
sown in the open ground early in the spring where 
they will quickly germinate, grow rapidly, and in a 
few weeks be in bloom, and give a great profusion of 
beautiful blossoms all summer. No garden flower Is 
easier grown, for it is sure to thrive as a Poppy or 
pig weed. Second, the blossoms instead of being in 
clusters like other sorts run up into spikes, usually :S 
or 4 inches long, as shown in the cut. Third, it is very 
sweet scented. We have probably said enough to 
niuke every one want It, but we have yet to say that 
the llowcr is pure while, that, the plant Is short Jointed 
and dwarf, not covering nearly as much ground as 
other sorts, and it is a perfect mass of bloom ail sum¬ 
mer. Also, that it always comes perfectly true from 
seed . . io 
For only $ 1.00 we will send one packet each of the alum lo 
cleyant varieties.
