VERBENA. 
The Verbena is one of the prettiest, and the most 
popular of all the flowering plants suitable for forming 
beds on the lawn. It commences to flower and spread 
from the first day the plants are set until late in the 
autumn, every day becoming better and more hand¬ 
some. The improper growing of plants has checked 
the popularity of this useful flower to some extent, for 
it has been difficult in many places to procure healthy 
plants. A healthy plant will cover a space three feet in 
diameter. Our plants are grown with care, and 
are as robust as seedlings. With names, $1.00 per doz.; 
57.00 per hundred; without names, 75 cents per doz.; 
5i.oo per hundred. Our Verbena plants are the strong¬ 
est and healthiest in America.
