Ageratum (FIoss Flower) 



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

 from early summer till frost. Unlike many bedding plants, their 

 flowers are not liable to be spoiled by rain, nor do the colors fade 

 out. The various blue varieties are without doubt the most 

 satisfactory bedding plants of this color for our trying climate. 

 Easily raised from seed, which is usually started in a hotbed or 

 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 all winter. (See cut.) p^.^^ p^^j.
