Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom. Gardening -- Dictionaries; Plants -- North America encyclopedias. 1910 VERBASCUM smaller than in V. phlomoides. The plant has the dis- advantage of being sensitive to wetness, its soft, woolly lvs. damping off in wet situations over winter. V. phlomoides, though less popular than the preced- ing, is probably the best of all the yellow-fid. species. It has the advantage over V. Olympicum of being a true biennial of easier cul- ture with larger lis. and a longer season of bloom, ti- 10 weeks, and even then if \3k/ cut half way down it will throw out lateral bloom in late autumn.
