Ageratum (Floss Flower) 



One of the best bedding plants, being literally a sheet of bloom from early 

 summer till frost. Unlike many bedding plants, their flowers are not liable to bl 

 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 trans- 

 ferred to the open ground in May. Can also be sown outdoors in May. A sowinj 

 in September will give plants to bloom indoors all winter. (See cut.)
