ACAPANTHUS or AFRICAN LILY 
The Nile Lily comes readily from seed, and well-grown 
plants will throw hundreds of flowers: clustered and fragrant 
trumpets in gloriously varied shades from amethyst to in¬ 
digo, or, rarely, of enamel whiteness. Agapanthus is always 
thirsty, but with a good hose-soaking from time to time, 
may he grown plunged in the summer border, though hand¬ 
ling in large pots or tubs is more usual. It will winter 
well enough in a light cellar. Pkt. 15c ; % oz. 50c ; oz.

AGAVE BLEND — ehtw. Plants of a massive majesty, noble 
succulents for pot or tub culture. Though many species

or marbled color stains. Finally come great spires of bloom

tive. At our Old Orchard Seed Gardens this summer, we 
emmted sixty-six blossom clusters on a particularly good 
plant. We found that each cluster carried about one hun¬ 
dred individual florets, so that meant between six and seven 
thousand of the pretty little lilac star-flowers open at one 
time on a single plant. Pkt. 20c. #
