All these varieties originated with Peter Henderson, the Prince 

 of American Floriculture, and are sure to be true to description. Any 

 one can raise a Verbena, and no garden can be complete without some 

 of the hundreds of varieties offered by all florists. 



Salvias. 



These plants are the most gorgedus of all the fall-flowering plants; 

 they grow from four to five feet high ; and the small plant, you purchase 

 in the spring of the florist, will become by September a beautiful, sym- 

 metrical bush, covered with tassels of the brightest scarlet flowers. They 

 are unequaled for planting in masses, but are very tender, the first 

 frost rendering them a blackened mass. 



Salvia splendens variegata is a novelty possessing finely variegated 

 foliage, with flowers as brilliant as the common kind. The roots can 

 be hung up in the cellar in the winter — like the Geraniums. 



Salvia patens is of a deep blue color, of the most perfect shade. It 

 has a tuberous root, which can be kept like a Dahlia through the winter, 

 in sand. 



The Ageratum. 



These plants are excellen?t for beds and borders, on account of their 

 constant bloom. Their flowers are of light porcelain blue, in large 

 clusters. 



Ageratum Mexicanum is of a light blue. 



A, variegatum has leaves variegated with yellow, shading with 

 crimson.
