NE W 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 is doubled; the habit of the plant is made 
compact and bushy instead of being secraggy and sprawling; the size of the 
flowers is magnified beyond belief, specimen heads measuring ten to fifteen 
inches across; the color is made clearer and better. 
The soul of a flower is admitted to be its perfume, and this subtile 
essence has been improved even more than the body of the plant, itis 
strengthened, intensified, one head of the New Giant being equal toa 
whole bunch of the old sort. For the garden this new race is admi- 
rable, but for pot ‘culture it is beyond valuation. (See cut below.)
