ABRONIA. 



Pretty, trailing plants, with prostrate branches several feet long, and clusters 

 of sweet-scented flowers, somewhat like the Verbenas. Their habit well adapts 

 them for baskets, rockwork and borders, and they are of easy culture, blooming 

 most profusely in midsummer. 



A. arenaria. Bright waxen yellow flowers. 5 cents per pkt. 

 V. umljellata grandiflora. Very large, fine clusters, of pure rose. 10 cents 

 per pkt. 



AGERATUM. 



The Ageratums are greatly valued for bedding on account of their neat, vig- 

 orous growth and free-blooming habit. They bloom the whole summer through, 

 where sown early, and make fine pot plants for winter flowering. For cutting, 

 too, they are much prized because of their soft, fluffy flower-clusters. 

 V. Lasseauxi. Very fine clusters of bright rose, borne long and abundantly ; 



especially valuable for cutting. Sometimes classed with tender perennials, 



but blooms the first year from seed. 5 cents per pkt. 

 V. Me.vicanum, Imperial Dwarf Blue. Flowers bright blue ; plant very 



dwarf and free-blooming. 5 cents per pkt. 

 A. album. Large clusters of white flowers ; habit like the above. 5 cts. per pkt.
