HELICHRYSUM MONSTROSUM 



"Everlasting or Strawflower" 



These improved double "varieties" produce much larger and' more double flowers than the old 

 varieties. They are showy garden annuals, of free growth, producing abundantly during the summer. 

 -However, they are chiefly prized for their availability for decorative purposes, during the winter months. 



The dried flowers lend themselves admirably for table adornment in the home or in hotels, for 

 making up ornamental baskets as shown in illustration. In fact they may be used for almost any 



floral decoration. 2 to 3 feet high. (See engraving.) _ r
