AGBRATUI^ (Hou Hower). 



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 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.)
