3 AGAPANTHUS or AFRICAN LILY 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 from 25 to 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 as many as 160 
blossoms. Agapanthus grows readily from seed. 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, and carried 
over winter in a semidormant condition, in a light cool cellar. 
Illustrated above. Mixture of varied, fine blues. Seeds, pkt. 
25e; 146 oz. 40c; Plants, each 85c; 3 for $2.40. GIANT WHITE

AGAPANTHUS AFRI. MOOREANUS—Dwarf, deciduous form
