HELIANTHUS. 



Helianthus Multiflorus (Double Hardy Sunflower). One of the most 

 useful perennial plants in cultivation. It is perfectly hardy and pro- 

 duces its large double Dahlia-like golden yellow flowers iu great 

 profusion the entire summer and fall. 15c. each; $1.50 per doz. 



Helianthus Maximilliana. A most graceful single-flowered 

 variety, growing from 5 to 7 feet high, continuing in bloom 

 very late in the season. The flowers are produced in long, 

 graceful sprays, which make it invaluable for cutting pur- 

 poses. 15 cts. each; §1.50 per doz. 



Helianthus flollis. Large, lemon-yellow, single flowers, pro- 

 duced early in the fall ; a most distinct, and one of the best 

 native species. 25 cts. each ; §2.50 per doz. 



Helianthus Rigidus. One of the most desirable of our native 

 varieties, beginning to bloom early in July and continuing 

 until late in fall ; flowers single, golden yellow, with dark 

 centre. 15 cts. each ; §1.50 per doz. 



HYPERICUM MOSERIANUH. 



We take pleasure in calling attention to this beautiful plant, 

 which has been universally admired and is acknowledged to be 

 one of the very best herbaceous 

 plants of recent introduction. 

 The habit of the plant is free 

 and graceful ; it produces long 

 slender, much-branched 

 stems, leafy to the base and 

 all drooping toward the 

 ends, apparently from the 

 weight of the flowers and 

 buds, although the flow- 

 ers face, so that none 

 of their beauty is lost. 

 It is marvellously free 

 flowering, of large 

 size, measuring 

 from 2 to 2 2 inches 

 in diameter; in 

 color, a rich gold- 

 en yellow, which 

 is rendered still more 

 effective by the numerous 

 yellow stamens and crimson 

 anthers,and blooms continuously 

 the entire season. It is perfe 

 hardy, forming a bush about 3 feet high. 

 Strong plants, 15 cts. each ; §1.50 per dozen 



Helianthus Multlflorua. 

 (Double Hardy Sunflower.) 



Hypericum 

 Moserianum 



Lyohnis Semperflorena Plenisaima. 



HYPERICUM 



TRICOLOR, 



A similar variety 

 to the above as far 

 as the flowers are 

 concerned, but 

 with handsomely 

 variegated f oliage , 

 which makes it a 

 most desirable orna- 

 mental shrub even 

 when not in flower.

Lychnis Semperflorens 

 Plenissima. One of the 



greatest additions to our list 

 of hardy perennials, beginning 

 to flower early in the spring and 

 continuing throughout the entire 

 ummer. The flower is of a beau- 

 tiful, tender, rose-color and is produced in long, bushy 

 spikes. One of its greatest advantages is its easy forcing 

 qualities in an ordinary greenhouse or cool conservatory, 

 where it will produce, from October to April, with ordi- 

 nary care, hundreds of flowers. 



15 cts. each; §1.50 per doz. 



Lychnis Viscaria, Double White. Large, double, white 

 flowers, which are produced in the greatest profusion 

 during the entire summer ; very valuable for funeral de- 

 signs, taking the place of the Carnation at a season when 

 double white flowers are in great request ; perfectly 

 hardy. 



20 cts. each; §2.00 per doz. 



Lychnis Viscaria, Double Red (Ragged Robin). When 

 not in flower it forms a dense tuft of evergreen foliage, 

 but in June it sends up tall spikes, of handsome, 

 double, deep-red flowers of a most exquisite fragrance, 

 and which remain in perfection for from a month to 

 six weeks. 



15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz. 



Lychnis Haageana. Large, brilliant scarlet, single flow- 

 ers, which are produced very freely during the spring 

 and summer months ; one of the most desirable border 

 plants. 



15 cts. each ; §1.50 per doz. 



One each of the 4 Lychnis for 50 cts.
