TWO HANDSOME HELENIUMS. 



(Sneeze -worts ) 



Riverton Gem. A variety that originated in our trial grounds. Of 

 strong growth, 2} to 3 feet high. Covered from the middle of Au- 

 gust to the end of October with brilliant flowers, which, onopeiing, 

 are old-gold suffused with bright terra-cotta, changing as they mature 

 to a wallflower-red. A first-class novelty. 



Riverton Beauty. Another variety which originated with us and 

 which is entirely distinct, the flowers being of a rich lemon-yellow 

 with a large cone of purplish-black, the two colors forming a most 

 pleasing combination. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, at- 

 taining a height of 3 to 4 feet, and a most profuse bloomer from early 

 in August until October. (See cut.)

HELIANTHUS SPARSIFOLIUS. 



A large-flowered form of H. Lcstiflorns, of which Miss Mellish has 

 heretofore been the most prominent and desirable variety. Of 

 strong, vigorous growth, 6 to 8 feet high, and produces from August 

 to September a mass of large, graceful, single, deep yellow flowers 

 on long stems, making it a most valuable summer 

 cut flower as well as a beautiful plant for 

 the hardy border. 25 cts. each,

 ite, and is being planted ex- 

 tensively, but is far surpas- 

 sed both in size and beauti-
