AGERATUM (FIoss Flower) 



One of the best bedding plants, being literally a sheet of bloom

 satisfactory bedding plants of this color for our trying climate.

 window and transferred to the open ground in May. Can also 

 be sown outdoors in May. A sowing in September will give plants 

 to bloom aU winter. (See cut.)
