HELIOTROPE [tP-2 ft.] This fragrant plant has an in- 

 dividual charm all its own. In the border its somber green 

 foliage and large clusters of dark blue to deep violet flowers 

 lend themselves to pleasing contrasts with the more 

 vivid leaves and flowers of most other plants. It is a rapid 

 grower and from seed started early in the spring will make 

 fine flowering plants by early summer, while in a warm 

 climate it will continue to live and bloom all winter.
