NEW GIANT-FLOWERED HELIOTROPE. 
Efforts to improve the Heliotrope have been persistently made by experts 
all over the world for a number of years, and at last these efforts have been 
successful; realization has surpassed the most ardent expectation. One can 
scarcely recognize the old garden favorite in its new glorified form. The 
size of the foliage and its quality are doubled; the habit of the plant is made 
compact and bushy instead of being scraggy and sprawling; the size of the 
flowers is magnified beyond belief, specimen heads measuring ten to fifteen 
inches across; the color is better. (See cut.) Price, 20c. each, 3 for 50c. 
Notr.—We can supply the ordinary Heliotropes, all fine sorts, fragrant 
blue, lavender and white, at 10c. each, $1.00 per dozen. ‘
