PER PKT. 



Cirrhosa. A graceful hardy biennial climber, but, as it resows itself year after year, it might be 



considered perennial. The feathery foliage closely resembles that of the Maiden-hair Fern. The 



flowers are tube-shaped, flesh-colored, somewhat like the Bleeding Heart, 



and completely cover the plant. For covering trellises, stumps of trees, 



etc., it is very desirable. Flowers the first year from seed 10 



AGERATUM (Floss Flower; 



( >ne of the very 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.
