FLOWER SEEDS 
AGERATUM a ALYSSUM a 
(Floss Flower) 
One of the best bedding plants, being literally a 
sheet of bloom from early summer until frost. Unlike 
many bedding plants, the 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 
climate. Easily raised from seed which may be 
started in a hotbed or window and transferred to 
the open ground. 
Keep the faded flowers picked off for continuous 
bloom. After a season of bloom the plants may be 
cut back to promote new growth and another crop 
of flowers. 
Of all garden flowers, none is better known, or more 
cherished, for its beauty and fragrance, and the mem¬ 
ories associated with it. It is truly queen of edging 
plants whether grown in a continuous ribbon, or 
alternated with blue lobelia, yellow signata marigold 
or dwarf ageratum. Its white flowers never fail; it 
is amazingly vigorous and hardy, and exceptionally 
uniform in height and size.
