SPECIAL NOTE! Every florist that grows bedding plants and material 
for porch and window boxes and is not now handling any of the To- 
renias should investigate the possibilities of these plants. That they are 
not well known is shown by their absence from so many gardens. 
And that they deserve far more attention than they now get, is evi- 
dent from their good behavior under average garden conditions.
