Dreer's garden calendar : 1875 . dreersgardencale1875henr Year: 1875 130 Breer's Garden Calendar. Tritoma Uvakia Grandiflora. TRITOMA UVARIA GRANDIFLORA. A splendid summer and autumn flowering plant, with stately flower scapes and magnificent terminal dense spikes of rich orange red iiower-tubes; familiarly known, from its glowing colors, as the ''Red-hot Poker.' Hardy, with protection, 25 cts. to $, according to size. All blooming plants. THE VERBENA. The Verbena is the most useful and popular of our bedding plants, yet, for want of proper cultivation, many fail to grow it to perfection. Frequent change of soil is necessary. A fresh, sandy loam, enriched with well rotted manure, or sods from a pasture, thrown ujd with cow manure, and well rotted before using, we have found the best. A simple plan, when it is not practicable to renew the entire bed, is to dig holes about one foot square and deep, wherever a plant is desired, and fill up with fresh soil, as above named. We have devoted much labor and care in the annual selection of our Verbena seed, and with over an acre bed to select from, we are in a jxjsition to secure first-class novefties in point of color, habit and growth. The first premium was awarded our collec- tion at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Autumnal Exhibition, September, 1874. VERBENA—New Varieties for 1875. 25 cts.; $ per doz. ANTONIA.
