 | | THE heliotrope is in some form or other one of the most ancient of flowers; but the one before us, being a native of Peru, is of necessity modern, its introduction dating from the year 1800. |
 | | The place in which the heliotrope displays its qualities best is on the wall of a warm conservatory, where it will reach a height of four, six, or even ten feet, and produce its fragrant flowers all the winter long. |
 | | To raise a stock of heliotropes for bedding, it is necessary to put a few old plants into a moderate heat soon after the turn of the year; and when these bristle with new shoots, cuttings may be taken and struck in a temperature of 70 degree. |
