PLANT CULTURE 



Lantana 



ISOTOMA. In Europe /. longiflora is grown as a greenhouse 

 subject. In America it is one of our most showy white flowering 

 biennials for the open border. The plants before coming in bloom 

 are anything but attractive, as they closely resemble some of our 

 common coarse growing weeds. The flowers, on large plants, are 

 anything but sparingly produced; they are pure white, an inch or 

 so across the petals..
