A well-known and favorite old plant, producing large heads of 

 pink tiowers, in great profusion ; the color of which can be changed 

 to a beautiful blue, by mixing the iron scales or spaiks from a 

 blacksmith's shop among the soil. It thrives best in a shady situa- 

 tion, with a plentiful supply of water; with slight protection it 

 has endured the severest winters around Philadelphia. Price of 

 plants, from 25 cents to $1.00.
