3 AGAPANTHUS 2 
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 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. 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 opposite. Seeds in mixture, mostly 
varied blues. Pkt. 15c; Wg oz. 85c; 1% oz. 60c; % or. $1.00.
