2 AEONIUM HAWORTHI—ew. A rather good pot plant 
from the Canaries. Eventually there are many short, 
crooked branches, each ending in a rosette of thick, delta- 
shaped leaves, these of a rich succulence, and a finish as of 
silver powdering over a blue-green glossiness. Then come 
big panicles of little rose-flushed yellow flowers. Pkt. 25c 
(Plants, each 35c). 
2 AEONIUM ARBOREUM ATROPURPUREUM — Pictur- 
esque plants, each rugged branch ending in a big, loose

3 AGAPANTHUS 4 
Great umbels of glorious trumpet-flowers, spread and split 
to starry form. Waxy petals, amethyst to indigo, or rarely 
white. The bloom is carried on stems that range anywhere 
between 18 and 60 inches of height. First year of bloom- 
ing there may be only a few flowers in a cluster but the 
second year up to 30 or more in the blue, and on a single 
stem of the Giant White we have had at Old Orchard as 
many as 160 blossoms open at once. Agapanthus grows 
readily from seed, often blooming within the year if kept 
in continuous growth. It may be handled as a large pot 
plant, and will force for winter bloom, but usually it is 
grown out of doors in summer, dug in autumn, and carried 
over winter in a semidormant condition replanted in sand 
or earth in a light cool cellar or similar position, being then 
given just occasional scant waterings. In summer fertilize 
well, and in dry weather water freely; and your reward 
will come in the long and lovely blossoming. Illustrated 
page 2, Seeds, offered in mixture, mostly varied blues but 
with just a bit of the white. Pkt. 15c; zs oz. 30c; %& oz. 
50c; %4 oz. 90c. (Plants, mixed blues, each 90c; 3 for $2.60).

flowered forms of notable excellence. Great a ae yee 
E Cc; 
150 or more blossoms at once on large specimens. 
8 for 70c. (Plants, each $1.10; 3 for $3.00). 





If we may not make over the world, we can at least 
build our own garden corner of it to fit, though that 
corner be no greater than a window ledge. If this be 
escapism, then make the most of it, giving thanks for it.
