VERBENA 
Few plants give a more gorgeous display of brilliant flowers from July until frost than this universal 
garden favorite. They are ideal for borders, for cutting, and look well in rock-gardens. Outdoor 
sowings may be made in May, but for better results sow the seed indoors in February or March, giving 
bottom heat, and set out the plants 15 inches apart in late May or early June. Soaking the seed in 
warm water overnight hastens germination, and pinching back plants induces bushy growth.
