“ AGERATUM or FLOSS-FLOWER 
This easy-to-grow, dainty and fluffy long-bloomer is one of 
the better edging plants, and it is good, too, for bedding or 
as a cut flower. Sometimes it is grown as a pot plant, or 
in window: boxes.

GOLDEN AGERATUM—cick. It is really golden yellow, and 
it does look very much like an: Ageratum, and it may be used 
in the same way, but actually it is not an Ageratum at all, 
but instead Lonas inodora. The flowers are closely clustered 
and fluffy, rich yellow, and planted thickly so that the height 
is held down to about ten inches, it makes an excellent edg- 
ing. It is a long lasting flower for cutting, too, but for that 
purpose should be spaced about ten inches apart to get longer 
stems. Illustrated page 3, Pkt. 20c: 3 pkts. for 50c.
