HARDENBER.GIA Alba.. This beautiful plant, though not new, 

 is still rare. It has handsome foliage, and exquisite white flowers. It 

 blooms from January to the last of March. The flowers appear at the 

 axils of the leaves, and the entire plant is covered with spikes of small, 

 round, snowy-white, pea-shaped blossoms. The stems are very slender* 

 and the spikes of bloom are from 3 to 5 inches long. It is our loveliest 

 white winter-blooming shrub, and would be invaluable in the east for cut 

 flowers. The seeds are slow to germinate, and should be soaked - for 24 

 hours in water. Half hardy. 10c pkt. 



HUCHER.IA Sa.rtguineaL. A charming new plant, that forms a 

 low-growing rosette of pretty leaves, surrounded by slender stems crowned 

 with a number of lovely, airy, coral flowers. Beautiful for boquets; 10c pkt. 



HIBISCUS Rosella. This is a celebrated wild fruit of Queensland, 

 Australia. After the blossoms have fallen, the fleshy scarlet seed-pods are 

 gathered, and made into delicious jams, jellies, sauces, pies, tarts, etc. 

 The fruit is also dried for winter use. The flavor of the jam is the nearest 

 approach to red currant of anything else, and hardly distinguishable from 

 it, except that the consistency is different and the color brighter. It has a 

 delightful acid flavor. It does splendidly in California. 10c pkt. 



HELIOTROPE. Very few people know that Heliotrope is quite 

 readily raised from seed, and that young plants come into bloom very early. 

 Those who grow flowers should have the pleasure of testing them. All 

 varieties mixed. 5c pkt.
