majority of gardeners, although they are hardy, 

 casv to UTOW and propagate, and thrive in almost 

 any soil, no matter how poverty stricken it may be. 

 Propagation is usually effected by seeds, which 

 in most seasons are produced freely; also by root 

 division. To get the best flowers the soil should 

 be rich, and the position a sunny one. All the 

 species named below are hardy.

HEERIA. 



A small genus of herbs and semi-shrubby stove 

 plants (a nl. Mclastomacea'). Some of them are very

 March, and rooted in a close propagating frame. 

 Soil, equal parts of sandy loam and peat.

HELENIUM. 



Hardy ornamental annuals ami perennials (aril. 

 Compos'itas). The plains grown in gaHcns arc 

 chiefly perennials, and even they display a good 

 deal of variety with regard to habit. Some of the 

 species, notablv autumnale and its varietie-. are 

 very useful for supplying cut flowers, ami are grown 

 in "quantities for that purpose. Propagation, by 

 seeds, sown in spring or wherr ripe, on a sheltered 

 border out of doors ;" or by division of the roots in

Small. Suntlower-like, hardy or lialf-hardy peren- 

 nial herbaceous plants (or/1. Composite) of value 

 for the mixed border. They are propagated by 

 seeds or division, and grow in common soil, in a 

 sunny or half-shaded position. Quinqucnervis 

 is valued for its early-blooming qualities.
