fusion, very large, brilliantly colored flowers. The blooms 
are borne on long stems and group themselves together at

nection with this valuable introduction is its suitability 
for growing in pots, a thing which has hitherto been imprac¬ 
ticable 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.
