The easiest, 
surest, cheapest 
and best way to 
secure thrifty 
Verbenas, with 
abundant bloom, 
is to raise the 
plants from seed. 
Mammoth Verbenas . 
These flowers are often as large as a 25-cent piece, of 
bright and striking colors. Argus-eyed, striped, mottled 
and zoned, clear pink, scarlet, white and a hundred inter¬ 
mediate shades, with beautiful trusses often over 12 inches 
in circumference. Start in boxes and transplant early, 
and you will have a grand show. My seed is the genuine 
Mammoth strain. Warranted equal to any. Packet, 150 
seeds, 5c. ; % oz., 15c. 
VERBENA II YURI DA. Packet, 150 seeds, 4c. 
Howard's Royal Splendor Verbena Seed . 
This New England Grown Strain is the result of over a 
Quarter of a Century careful selection, with a view to 
secure plants producing florets and blossoms of the largest 
size, with the greatest range of beautiful colors and shades. 
Plants of this Strain are remarkably vigorous, compact 
and healthy, flowering in the greatest profusion. 
The Royal Splendor has always taken the first prizes at 
floral exhibitions, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 
especially. Pkt., 100 seeds, 10c. ; 3 Pkts. for 25c.

NEW VERBENA. “Commandant 
Marchand.” A well-fixed sport of the 
famous V. “Aurora Borealis.” The 
flowers are remarkably large, of a dark 
purplish red color, and are produced in 
great abundance. Packet, 6c. 
NEW VERBENA. “Mayflower.” 
This Fragrant Verbena is brightly 
colored in most pleasing shades of pink. 
Mr. Burbank has developed a strain, in 
which the flowers are of extra large size, 
most lovely shades of pink, and more 
pronouncedly fragrant than in any other 
strain in cultivation. While this strain is 
fully equal to the best for bedding purposes, 
the delightful fragrance will add a distinct 
value to the bright flowers when cut for 
bouquets. Packet, 100 seeds, 6c. 
Prof. S. T. Maynard, of the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College, an expert Horti¬ 
culturist, says: “Your Royal Splendor 
Verbenas are the most brilliant colored 
and distinctly marked I have ever seen. 
With such seed, there is little need to 
winter over named kinds. Send me another 
ounce of the same seed.”
