 fine flowers.

a 



NEW DWARF SUNFLOWER, 



(Helianthus Multiflorus Plenus.) 



THIS year we are fully prepared to supply every demand for 

 this grand plant. We have propagated a large stock of 

 of it, anticipating a repetition of last year's demand, which 

 was large, exceeding even our expectations. We are confident 

 that the popularity of this plant will never cease ; it is so 

 beautiful and so useful for the adornment of the lawn, or for 

 supplying cut flowers. A single plant produces armfuls of 

 flowers, and these last a long time when cut. A single speci- 

 men on the lawn is very effective, but a bed of it is gorgeous. 

 It attains a height of three feet, is robust and compact in habit; 

 is easily propagated by division of the plant, and is perfectly 

 hardy. Flowers very double and perfect in form ; a rich goldea 

 yellow in color. Price, each, 10 cents.; per doz., $1.00. 

 Large, strong plants, 25 cents each.
