The easiest, 
surest, cheapest 
and best way to 
secure thrifty 
Verbenas, with 
abundant bloom, 
is to rais e 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, 10c. 
Mioz., 15c. Plants at $1.00 per doz. 
VERBENA HYBRIDA. Packet, 5c. 
Verbena Odorata. It is so hardy, seed can be sown 
in the open ground early in the spring, where they will 
quickly germinate, and in a few weeks be in bloom and give 
a great profusion of beautiful blossoms all summer. The 
blossoms, instead of being in clusters like other sorts, run 
up intospikes, usually 3 or 4 inches long. Very sweet-scen¬ 
ted and pure white. Packet, 5c.

Fragrant Verbena is brightly colored in 
most pleasing shades of pink. Packet, 10c.

favorite, is very scarce and high. Leaves so

Moss Verbena Plant. 
This new Verbena produces a 
mass of fine moss-like foliage, 
and as the branches spread out over the ground in all directions, a 
lovely carpet of mossy green is formed, above which are borne the 
delicate clusters of purple-blue blossoms in the wildest profusion. 
The effect is most charming. It is more hardy and robust than most 
Verbenas, and blooms in a very short time from seed. It is so de- 
sirable, novel and; beautiful that it must be classed as one of the 
great acquisitions. Packet, 5c.
