HEUCHERA SANGUINEA. 



One of the finest of recently introduced hardy per- 

 ennials. The plants are dwarf and compact, with 

 evergreen foliage, beautifully cut and marbled and 

 slightly hairy. The flowers are a brilliant red and. 

 though small, are borne in such extravagant abund- 

 ance on the long, graceful spikes as to make, with 

 the sunlight upon them, a fairly dazzling appear- 

 ance. They remain in bloom several weeks, lending 

 their brilliant color to the garden bed, or are grace- 

 ful and pretty for cutting. Very easy of cuJ tivation. 

 HARDY HIBISCUS. Pkt., 7 cts. 



A very desirable perennial, reaching in a single season the dimensions of a shrub. It blooms the first year from seed 

 sown in the open ground, and blossoms each year thereafter, beginning in midsummer after the flowering season for 

 most of the shrubby perennials is over. The enormous hollyhock-like flowers, from five to seven inches across, are 

 borne in great profusion, and notwithstanding their size are so delicate in color and tissue as to seem anything but 

 coarse. The plant is fine for clumps, hedges, or to hide unsightly objects. Pinch out the top of the center shoot if you 

 wish the plants more dwarf or to bloom earlier. My seed is a mixture of two choice varieties, the famous "Crimson Eye" 

 and the "Royal Pink." The Crimson Eye Hibiscus is a robust grower with dark red stems and foliage and beautiful 

 large, white blossoms, with a bright crimson center. The Royal Pink bears flowers of a most dainty pink, many of 

 them also having the same crimson center. 3 to 5 feet. Pkt., 5 cts.
