BEST NEW Flowers for 1936-Continued 33 
BEST VERBENAS 
803 1-2"Spectrum Red 
This magnificent Verbena is an 
intense bright red, brighter than 
any other Verbena yet introduced. 
Having absolutely no eye, the color 
is intensified, and its brilliance is 
quite dazzling. Comparable only to 
Etna, but without Etna’s yellow 
eye. Individual florets are one 
and one-fourth inches in diameter. 
We strongly recommend this as 
the brightest Verbena in existence.

1934 All-American Selections. Pkt.
