been carefully selected and improved un¬ 
til we can recommend it as the best 
procurable. The trusses and individual 
flowers are of large size, of brilliant 
colors, free-blooming and of vigorous 
habit. The Verbena is one of the most pop¬ 
ular garden annuals and lends itself willing¬ 
ly to many uses. For beds, borders and window 
boxes it is particularly fine, and is frequently 
used for an undergrowth to tall plants like lilies, 
etc The clusters of showy flowers are borne in 
constant succession from June until frost VVe

Dazzling as a ball of fire poised high above other 
flowerS, Fireball is, undoubtedly, the last word in 
brilliance of color in a fall blooming plant. Many 
who have known Tithonia Speciosa have considered it 
the brightest possible flower for fall use. With the 
introduction, however, of Fireball, this older variety 
is entirely overshadowed Fireball is a very brilliant 
shade of scarlet orange, the petals in dazzling con¬ 
trast to the clear yellow center. Flowers 4 y 2 to 5 
[inches in diameter, on fine long stems Plants often 
reach a height of 8 or 9 feet and neat in appearance. 
Extremely showy in the garden and an excellent cut 
flower, keeping 5 or 6 days when cut. Pkt., 15c; 
% oz., 40c. 
Royal Bouquet Bush Verbena 
A new, upright, compact form, growing 15 to 18 inches in height and 
not more than 10 inches across, with no lateral branches being thrown 
out It bears in the utmost profusion, very large, brilliantly colored 
flowers. The blooms are borne on long stems and group themselves to¬ 
gether at the summit of the plant. One great possibility in connection 
with this valuable introduction is its suitability for growing in pots, a 
thing which has hitherto been impracticable with Verbenas. The color 
range is from purest white to pink, red, blue and purple, many flowers 
being distinctly auricula-eyed. The seed is offered in mixture of colors 
only. Pkt., 15c; y 8 oz., 50c.
