July.

GlofV We cons ider this the finest lavender in the 
-— Giant Verbena family. The color is clear 
and bright, contrasting well with the cream-white center of the 
flower. Individual blooms, strikingly beautiful, are much larger than 
those of the ordinary type. Decidedly fragrant. Pkt. 15 cts., 
Y&oz. 75 cts., Vioz. $1.25. 
Note. This fine strain cannot be entirely fixed, there being a few 
light colors and whites. It happens, however, that these lighter 
colored plants are equally beautiful and the flowers equally large, 
and the effect of their presence, in a large planting, is to improve it. 
However, gardeners who wish a perfect one-color effect should replace 
light-flowering individuals with plants from a spare bed or some 
potted plants, which they may hold in reserve. Verbenas may be 
sown in the open ground in April around New York, or earlier under 
glass and transplanted. 
Beauty of Oxford Hybrids. Hybrkla GrandMora Type. 
—-i- This beautiful, giant, hardy 
annual is a cross between the salmon flesh, and coral Verbena, 
Luminosa, and the rose-colored Beauty of Oxford. While following 
closely the color of the latter, it inherits a touch of salmon-pink from 
its other parent, which gives a lovely softening effect to the somewhat 
harsh coloring of Beauty of Oxford. The color shades from clear 
rose-pink to rose-red, make this the brightest rose-colored Verbena 
ever produced from seed. The individual flowers measure over 1 inch 
in diameter, and will easily cover a silver half-dollar. The foliage is a 
dark cress-green. This beautiful subject will be welcomed as a distinct 
addition to the available colors in the large-flowered type. One may 
produce from seed those color effects hitherto only obtained by taking 
cuttings of Beauty of Oxford. Pkt. 25 cts., Ygoz. 75 cts., V^oz. $1.25.
