HELIOPSIS. 



Orange Sunflower. 



PITCHERIANA— Similar to Helianthus or Hardy 

 Sunflower in habit, but grows only 2 or 3 feet high, and 

 begins to bloom earlier in the season. The flowers are 

 2 inches in diameter, deep golden-yellow, of leathery 

 texture, and are freely produced constantly throughout 

 the summer and into the autumn. Especially useful for 

 cutting. Each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



PITCHERIANA SEMI-PLENEA— A variety with 

 semi-double bright yellow flowers. Each, 15c; doz., $1.50. 



HEMEROCALLIS. 



Day Lily. 



Hemerocallis Kwanso. 



Free flowering, decorative plants for the mixed border, 

 shrubbery or elsewhere, with handsome linear foliage and 

 bearing large, lily-shaped flowers in summer. Succeeds 

 in even damp situations.

DUMORTIERI. Golden Day Lily — Showy and ef- 

 fective, a constant bloomer, with large, handsome flowers 

 of bright orange-yellow. 



FLAVA. Yellow Day Lily. Lemon Lily — A vigor- 

 ous species, with clusters of large, fragrant, wax-like, clear 

 lemon-yellow flowers, during early summer, 



FLORHAM — Of American origin. It has very large, 

 sweet scented, golden-yellow flowers in June and July. 

 Each, 30c; doz., $3.00. 



FULVA. Tawny Day Lily — Flowers of bronzy-yellow 

 in profusion during July and August. Very hardy and 

 enduring. 



KWANSO. Double Day Lily — Large double flowers 

 of rich copper-yellow. Very vigorous. (See cut.) 



THUNBERGII. Japanese Lemon Lily— The finest of 

 its class, owing to its flowers being so beautiful and so 

 abundantly produced. It blooms later than the other 

 sorts — in August and September. The flowers are of 

 bright lemon-yellow, borne on long graceful stems and 

 are delightfully fragrant. 



Price, (except as noted), each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, 

 $8.00. 



A set of 6 varieties for 75c. 



HIBISCUS. 



Mallow. 



MILITARIS. Halbert-leaved Rose Mallow — A na- 

 tive of the greatest value. Exceedingly refined, both in 



flower and foliage, 

 wonderfully free flow- 

 ering and very deco- 

 rative. It forms a 

 spreading bush, 4 to 

 6 feet high, densely 

 clothed with uniquely 

 lobed soft light green 

 leaves, and thickly 

 studded with exquis- 

 itely formed flowers, 

 3 to 5 inches in diam- 

 eter, of ivory white 

 or pale blush deepen- 

 ing to the center. 

 Each flower has a 

 large reddish purple 

 or wine colored cen- 

 ter, and the petals 

 are veined with pearly 

 white. Its pods are 

 also beautiful, being 

 curiously and grotes- 

 quely modeled. It be- 

 gins to flower in July 

 and continues without 

 interruption until late 

 autumn. 



MOSCHEUTOS. Marsh Mallow. (3 to 5 feet.) — 

 Strong growing, bushy plants, with large leaves and pro- 

 ducing large, bell-shaped flowers freely, during late 

 summer and autumn. Especially valuable for planting 

 with shrubbery. Succeeds on all soils, but prefers a 

 moist or even wet situation. I offer three varieties : 

 Alba or pure white; Crimson Eye, white with a large 

 spot of rich crimson at the center, and Rosea, cheerful 

 light pink throughout. 



Strong, 2-year-old roots, each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, 

 $8.00.
