"Little Midget,'' Blue Ageratum 



A charming little plant growing only four or five inches 

 high and covering itself with light blue flowers. Where a com- 

 pact, low growing border is desired there is nothing can equal 

 this for effectiveness, as it forms dense symmetrical lines which 

 do not require any trimming to keep them in shape. For 

 edges of beds and borders it is invaluable, equally so for winter 

 blooming. (See cut.)
