VERBENAS 
Very few plants will make such a gorgeous display 
during the summer months as the Verbenas, or furnish 
more flowers for cutting. Start seed in the house or 
under glass early in the spring and transplant after two 
or three inches of growth or sow in open ground in 
April. Good healthy plants can be produced readily 
from seed. They flower in July and continue blooming 
until severe frost. They are unrivaled as low-growing 
bedding plants.
