Heliotrope 



The fact that strong-flowering plants can be raised 

 readily from seed as easily as Verbenas, is not known to 

 many, but this can be done. Start the seeds in a box of 

 light soil in a sunny window during March. Transplant 

 to small flower-pots when large enough, and then set 

 out in flower-beds when the trees are in leaf and the 

 weather is settled and warm.
