The Little Torenia

I have passed and repassed the little Torenia when I got a new flower catalog and only this spring did I find it blooming in a store and asked what it was.

Being told and that it was an annual and could be raised -every summer I sent for it immediately and planted it and, now it is in bloom and so, so pretty. I want all my friends to get it. It reminds me of a little hood with an ornamented cover. The flower is small but so lovely.

Another flower I have tried this summer is the Achimines. It is beautiful but I have but one color, the red kind. It is simply never out of bloom and has often seven blooms at once.

Be sure to plant every new flower next year and enjoy your surprises as I have.
