HELIOTROPE. 



We can almost say of this plant what we have said of 

 the Verbena ; yet though many new varieties have been 

 produced the old have not been entirely superseded. The 

 following is a list of choice kinds: 



Jane Messmer. Light blue, very sweet. 



Alexina. Lilac blush, large flowers. 



Garibaldi. Nearly white. 



General Valubert. Violet. 



Le Pape. Blue and lilac. 



Mina. Deep violet, white centre. 



Madame Fillion. Clear violet, passing to lavender. 



Jersey Beauty. The best blue for pot culture. 



Etoile de Marseilles. Deep violet, white centre, large 

 truss, the best dark variety. 



Souvenir de Leopold I. Dark blue, white eye. 



Beaute des Parterres. Lilac, almost white when grown 

 under glass.
