Verbena 
Floradale Beauty 
A great improvement on Beauty of Oxford Hybrids, which are so good 
that it would seem hardly possible to excel them, but Floradale Beauty 
does surpass them in size of florets and flower-heads. As is commonly 
known, it is usually difficult to get good stands on Beauty of Oxford 
Hybrids unless seed is started under glass, whereas seeds of Floradale 
Beauty, sown directly in the open, have always given us perfect stands. 
Floradale Beauty Verbena is a giant hybrid, the flowers varying from 
bright rose-pink to deep rose-red of exceptional brightness. Individual 
florets are of perfect form, fully rounded, and average in. across; 
they make up into heads or trusses which measure 4 to 5 in. across. 
Plants are very free flowering and grow about 2^ ft. across. Visitors to 
our farms have always admired our plantings. We can recommend 
Floradale Beauty as a worthwhile novelty, adapted for any purpose to 
which a Verbena may be put. Oz. $2.10; lb. $25.00.
