All these yarieties originated with Peter Henderson, the Prince 

 of American Floriculture, and are sure to be true to description. Any 

 one can raise a Verbena, and no garden can be complete without some 

 of the hundreds of yarieties offered by all florists. 



Salvias. 



These plants are the most gorgeous of all the fall-flowering plants; 

 they grow from four to fiye feet high ; and the small plant, you purchase 

 in the spring of the florist, will become by September a beautiful, sym- 

 metrical bush, coyered with tassels of the brightest scarlet flowers. They 

 are unequaled for planting in masses, but are yery tender, the first 

 frost rendering them a blackened mass. 



Salyia splendens yariegata is a noyelty possessing finely yariegated 

 foliage, with flowers as brilliant as the common kind. The roots can 

 be hung up in the cellar in the winter — like the Geraniums. 



Salvia patens is of a deep blue color, of the most perfect shade. It 

 has a tuberous root, which can be kept like a Dahlia through the winter, 

 in sand. 



The Ageratum. 



These plants are excellent for beds and borders, on account of their 

 constant bloom. Their flowers are of light porcelain blue, in large 

 clusters. 



Ageratum Mexicanum is of a light blue. 



A, yariegatum has leayes yariegated with yellow, shading with 

 crimson.
