HEUCHERA SANGUINEA .. 



This perfectly hardy perennial is easily grown from seed, and 

 is not only valuable for the garden, but is highly recom- 

 mended for florists. The spites of brilliant crimson flowers 

 extend high above the foliage and are admirably adapted 

 for cut flowers and bouquets. The plants are about eight- 

 een inches high, of bushy habit. The leaves are light green 

 and slightly hairy. If started early indoors the plants will 

 flower abundantly and continuously the first season, but as 

 their flowering capacity increases with age, their full beauty 

 is not developed until the second year Pkt. lOcts

 coarse plant of twenty years ago. The plants are much more 

 compact, the flowers larger, and in the best strains they are 

 as double and perfect in form as the finest rose; while there 

 is no flower of the garden which furnishes richer colors. The 

 seed we offer is saved from choice, selected plants, and can 

 be depended upon to come true to name and furnish splendid 

 blooms. For a background to a flower border there is no 

 plant superior to this. Hardy perennial; five feet high.
