AGERATUM (FIoss riower). 



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

 from early summer till frost. Unbkemany bedding plants, their flowers 

 are not liable to be spoiled by rain, nor do the colors fade out. The

 which should be sown in March or earlier in a hnt-bed or window and 

 transferred to the open ground in June ; also valuable for winter 

 flowering in the window or conservatory. p^R ■e-K.i.
