AGERATUM BLuk& PERFECTION 
AGERATUM (loss 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).
