EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Flower Seeds 



Helichrysum 

 "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, or for making up ornamental baskets. In 

 fact they may be used for almost any floral decoration. 2 to 3 feet 

 high. (See illustration.)

"I am using your seeds almost entirely, as J have had the best success 

 with them. Your Asters are a marvel to all who sec them in bloom. Had 

 people tell me last year that even in California (where they are extensively 

 grown) they hadnt ever seen such large Straw/lowers as I raised from 

 your seeds last year." Mrs. P. WECHSELBEPGEP, 



Chicago, Illinois.
