Shoo-Fly Plant 
Shoo-Fly Plant, House—It is said that 
flies will not stay in a room where it is 
grown if they can conveniently escape, and 
our tests show such to be the case, though 
what there is about it that repulses them is 
not clear, as the plant or flower has no 
odor. Aside from this more remarkable 
quality it is a beautiful flowering plant, 
and blooms in a short time (60 days! from 
seed. It is particularly valuable as a win¬ 
ter bloomer, the blossoms being large, cup¬ 
shaped and of a lovely light blue color, with 
a white center. It is a profuse bloomer in 
pots both summer and winter.
