Burpee's Verbenas 
Ciant Verbena , 
Floradale Beauty 
Colorful, dwarf plants, ideal for edgings, ground cover, rock¬ 
eries, porch boxes and cutting. The flowers are borne in 
large trusses from midsummer until late fall. Thrive in poor 
soil and withstand drought remarkably well, but dislike 
freshly manured soil. Plant in a sunny location. We offer 
several types and give distinguishing characteristics with 
each group. All are lovely and fill certain needs. 
GIANT FLOWERED 
Of robust, spreading growth, 8 to 12 in. high, with large 
trusses, the individual blooms of which measure over 
1 in. across. Quick to come into flower.
