Our strains of this popular bedding plant are saved from the choicest flowers, and embrace only the finest colorings. The new Mammoth Fordhook Famous in mixed colors is the finest and largest-flowered strain in cultivation. We would suggest to florists that plants raised from seed for spring sales are not only free from the troublesome " Verbena rust," which destroys so many plants from cuttings, but are also much stronger; wi grow more vigorously and blossom more profusely when bedded out. The seed germinates slowly and should be planted quite early. Those who prefer to propagate from cuttings will be able to select many new and desirable colors from our fine seed for stock plants.
