Gardeners know two classes of Eupatoriums, the glass- 

 house and the hardy kin.ls. The latter are native spe- 

 cies which only l.ati-'ly have been introduced to the trade 

 as border plants. The glasshouse species are seen only 

 in the larger or amateur collections, as a rule, although 

 some of them are old garden plants. They are confused 

 as to kinds. These species demand the general treat- 

 ment of Piqueria (or Stevia),-a cool or intermediate 

 temperature and pot culture. They are easy to grow. 

 Prop, readily by cuttings. They are useful for winter 

 bloom. Of all Eupatoriums the individual heads are 

 small, but they are aggregated into showy masses. For 

 S. ccelestinum, see ConocUnium.
