Helichrysum 

 "Everlasting or Strawflower" 



These imDroved double "varieties" produce much larger and more 

 double dowers than the old varieties. They are showy garden annuals, 

 01 free growth, producing abundantly during the summer. However, 

 thev are cruelly priEed for their availability for decorative purposes, 

 during the winder 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.)
