PER PKT 



1051 Cirrhosa. A graceful hardy biennial climber, but, as it 

 resows itself year after year, it might be considered peren-

 Maiden-hair Fern, the flowers are tube-shaped, flesh-colored, 

 and completely cover the plant. For covering trellises, 

 stumps of trees, etc., it is very desirable. (See cut on page

Ageratum Bli e Perfection. 



AGKRATUM: (Tloss Flower). 



One of the very 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 should be started in a hot-bed 

 or window and transferred to the open ground in May; also valuable for winter flowering in the window or conservatory.
