1051 Cirrhosa. A graceful hardy biennial climber, but 

 as it resows itself year after year, it might be con- 

 sidered perennial. The feathery foliage closely re- 

 sembles that of the Maiden-hair Fern. The flowers 

 are tube-shaped, flesh-colored, somewhat like the 

 Bleeding Heart, and completely cover the plant. 

 For covering trellises, stumps of trees, etc., it is 

 very desirable. Flowers the first year from seed.

Ageratum Blue Perfhction 



AGERAXUM (noss 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 sow- 

 ing in September will give plants to bloom all winter. (See cut.) 



1071 Blue Perfection. This is the darkest colored of 

 all large flowering Ageratums. Color deep amethyst- 

 blue; compact growth; fine bedder. ^ oz., 40 cts. 10 



1076 Little Blue Star. A variety of exceedingly dwarf 

 and even growth; the tiny bushes, not over 4 to 5 

 inches high, are densely covered with bright blue 

 flowers, a fine variety for edging 25 



1073 Cope's Pet. The best light-blue variety for edg- 

 ing. J oz., .SO cts 10 



1078 Princess. A beautiful variety of compact, even 

 growth, rarely exceeding 8 inches in height, the 

 flowers are sky-blue with white centre, the contrast 

 being really exquisite, J oz., 40 cts 10
