Verbena “Spitfire” 
VERBENA HYBRIDA GRANDIFLORA 
“SPITFIRE” 
Ever on the alert and ready with a staccato burst for freedom, the ‘Spitfire’ is a champion of 
democracy and will foreyer be synonymous witth the titanic overseas struggle. 
Our new Verbena is the personification of a ‘Spitfire’ in action — radiating its defiance in deep 
scarlet-rose colors, that are carried on mammoth 3¥% in flowers. The plants have a vigorous 
habit of growth, measuring 25 to 30 inches in diameter, with each stem of florets standing semi- 
erect. 
Here is a Verbena to raise the morale of both Home Gardener and Florist, as each plant bears 
10 to 12 stems that are fifteen inches long, and can readily be used for bedding and cutting. 
“Spitfire’’ is a strong scarlet-rose self, that shows only a trace of an eye in the center of each floret. 
It is 100% true to type, and is perhaps the livest color in the Grandiflora Verbena group.
