Finch’s Mammoth Verbenas. 
Like the Pansy, the Aster and the Petunia, the Verbena is a favorite with everybody, and one of the most 
universally popular of all flowers, both for the garden and for pot culture. For constant and profuse flowering, 
and for brilliancy and beauty of colors it has no equals. 
Start seed early, under glass if possible, that good strong plants may be had for transplanting in the garden. 
They will commence blooming in June and continue until after severe frosts, and during the entire time nothing 
in the garden will attract more attention than the bed or clump of Verbenas. Finch’s Mammoth Verbenas.

vidual flowers are all or unusual size, and which also embraces a wide range of color. The individual blossoms
