AGERATUM 
For strengthening the garden's color-forces in 
blue, no annual is so good as the Ageratum. 
Though ordinarily used in bedding and borders, 
in contrast with such plants as geraniums, peril- 
las, etc., the rose, white and blue sorts are ex¬ 
ceedingly attractive when mingled with alyssum, 
candytuft, etc. They grow well almost anywhere 
and bloom the whole season. The dwarf blue 
sorts make fine borders. Sow under glass early in 
the season or, later, outdoors in a mellow seed¬ 
bed. Seeds sown in August will produce good 
plants for winter flowering. 
ALYSSUM 
Most popular, free-blooming annuals; suitable 
for borders, baskets, pots, rockwork, and for 
cutting. In the garden sow thickly so as to form 
masses, early in spring or even the previous au¬ 
tumn. For winter bloom sow late in August, and 
thin the seedlings to about a dozen for a good- 
sized basket. Cut back after the first flowers 
fade and others will come.
