MAMMOTH VERBENAS 
Plant Verbenas in pots, window boxes, use them in beds, bor- 
ders, parkways, and for covering slopes. Our Mammoth Flowering 
Strain produces immense heads of bloom, the individual florets 
often as large as a half-dollar. The clusters of brilliant, fragrant 
flowers are borne in constant succession, almost the year ’round. 
Only from cuttings can Verbenas, true to type and name, be 
grown. Seedlings display great variation and do not give such 
pleasing uniformity in the garden. While it costs more to grow 
Verbenas from cuttings, the long-lasting effect is worth many 
times the small difference in price.
