“Blue Mist” 
Hardy Ageratum 
(Improved type of the extremely popular “Hardy 
Blue Ageratum” introduced by us in 1926). Growth 
very dense and compact. Foliage bright attractive 
green, dense heads of blue flowers in profusion that 
completely covers the plant in a gorgeous “blue mist” 
I from July till frost. Unexcelled for florists use, last- 
I ing qualities of both flowers and foliage equal to 
1 Chrysanthemums. 
A distinct variety vastly different from the strain 
of tall stragly magenta violet flower Eupatorium 
Coelestinum, generally listed as Hardy'Ageratum. 
A florist says, “We do not believe there is an¬ 
other flower that can be used to such advantage in 
sprays, wreaths, baskets, and corsages, where the 
tint of lovely azure blue is needed. Combined with 
pink flowers, it gives an unusually beautiful effect 
in all floral arrangements.” 
Small Tflants lined out, 15 inches apart, as late as 
early June, covers ground completely and are in full 
bloom by August 1st, remaining so till frost. 
The lasting qualities, prolific growth, many uses, 
and wonderful profusion of blue bloom merits the 
most widespread distribution of this excellent plant. 
PRICES: Nice young plants, l-5c; 3-lOc; 12-35c. Field 
plants, l-15c; 2-25c; 8-$l.; 12-$1.50; 100-$10.
