Abutilon (Flowering Maple) 



PER PKT. 



1010 Fine Mixed. Considered indispensable for flowering indoors during

 Grows about 2 feet high, and from spring to frost is covered with

 ing the first season, if sown early 25

 garden soil, producing long spikes of blue and white

Acroclinium 



A pretty annual "Everlasting," growing about 15 inches high,

Ageratum, Blue Perfection 



Ageratum (Fioss 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.) 



PER PKT. 



1071 Blue Perfection. This is the darkest colored of all 

 large flowering Ageratums. Color deep amethyst-blue; 

 compact growth; fine bedder; 9 inches. \ oz., 40 cts. .$0 10 



1073 Cope's Pet. The best light blue variety for edging; 

 9 inches. \ oz., 30 cts 



1074 Imperial Dwarf Blue. Clear blue; 8 inches. 

 \ oz., 30 cts 



1075 Imperial Dwarf White. S inches, \ oz., 30 cts. . . 



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 



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. \ oz, 40 cts 



1079 Collection of a packet each of above 6 sorts, 60 cts.
