2 AEONIUM HAWORTHI—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 glossy blue-green. Eventually, panicles of

AFRICAN VIOLET 2 
Lovely in blossom, long in bloom, velvety in foliage, 
SAINTPAULIA, called African Violet, is one of the more 
desirable of window plants. Though the flowers much re- 
semble violets enhanced and enlarged, Saintpaulia is really 
a cousin of Gloxinia. Pretty much ever-blooming. Plants 
of three varieties usually available throughout year. BLUE 
BOY—Rich, deep blue. Each 90c; 3 for $2.60. PINK BEAUTY 
—Dainty sort with rather large blossoms of soft pink. Each

AGAVE BLEND—w. The Agaves or Century Plants have 
usually rosettes of thick, sword-shaped leaves, these some- 
times variegated. Leaf edges may be smooth, toothed or 
spine-set. Quite variable, but always decorative. Rather easy 
culture, making handsome large pot-plant specimens. Long- 
lived. Pkt. 20c; Ye oz. 40c; % oz. 75e, 
3 AGAPANTHUS 4 
Great umbels of glorious trumpet-flowers, spread to starry 
form. Waxy petals, amethyst to indigo, or rarely white. The 
bloom is carried on stems that range between 18 and 60 
inches in height. First year of blooming there may be only 
a few flowers but the second year up to 80 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. 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. Illustrated page 1. Seeds in mixture, mostly 
varied blues. Pkt. 15c; Wg oz. 85c; % oz. 60c; % oz. $1.00.

25ce. Plants, either Blue or White, state which, at each

AGAPANTHUS AFRICANUS MOOREANUS—A dwarf, de- 
ciduous form that fits pot plant use, carrying few-flowered 
umbels of rich blue. Blooms through spring and into summer, 
passing the winter in a half-resting stage. The hardiest 
Agapanthus, and with protection, may be wintered outside 
at Philadelphia. Pkt. 20c. Plants, each 65c; 3 for $1.80. 
* 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. 
AGERATUM BLUE BALL—eirk(3-4)6. Low domes of in- 
tense blue. Splendid edger. Pkt. 15¢e; Wg oz. 30c.

drift, white. Cutting or edging. Pkt. 15c; %4¢ oz. 30c.

branching plants. Cutting or garden decoration. Technically 
Eupatorium. Pkt. 20c. 
GOLDEN AGERATUM—eick. It is really golden yellow, it 
does look very much like an Ageratum, and it may be used 
in the same way, but actually it is 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 edging. It is a long lasting flower for 
cutting, too. Ilustrated opposite. Pkt. 20c; 8 pkts. for 50c. 
CUT-FLOWER BLEND—20 inches. A taller, more branch- 
ing Ageratum for cutting. Dominantly blue, with a little
