HYPERICUM 



MOSERIANUM. 



We take pleasure in calling attention to this 

 beautiful plant, which has been universally ad- 

 mired and is acknowledged to be one of the 

 very best herbaceous plants of recent introduc- 

 tion. The habit of the plant is free and grace- 

 ful ; 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 flowers face, so 

 that none of their beauty is lost. It is marvel- 

 ously free flowering, of large size, measuring 

 from 2 to 2J inches in diameter; in color, a 

 rich golden-yellow, which is rendered still more 

 effective by the numerous yellow stamens and 

 crimson anthers, and blooms continuously the 

 entire season. It is perfectly hardy, forming a 

 bush about 3 feet high. Strong plants, 15 cts. 

 each ; §1.50 per doz.
