go THE ELM CITY NURSERY COMPANY, 
HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS, 
HELENIUM AUTUMNALE (Sneezeweed). 6 to 7 feet, August and September. 
One of the best tall-growing garden plants. Flowers golden yellow ; in large masses. 
HBLENIUM HOOPESII. 1 to 3 feet. May and June. Color a peculiarly riob apricot yellow. 
HELIANTHUS ORGYALTS. 5 to 7 feet. October and November. 
The tall flower spikes of the plant produced so late in the season with their medium sized 
sunflower-like blooms, disposed all along the stems, and of such a bright golden yellow, make 
it especially desirable 
HELIANTHUS MULTIFLORUS FL. PL. 3 to 4 feet. August to October. 
Resembles Golden-Glow, but more double and less tall grower. 
HELIOPSIS LiEVIS. 4 to 5 feet. July to November. 
Another good hardy plant with rich yellow daisy-like flowers in great profusion. 
HELLEBOEUS NIGER (Christmas Rose). 6 to 12 inches. October to March. White and pink. 
Very attractive. Almost impossible as it may seem, this strange plant really produces its 
flowers in the winter, out of doors. Often when the ground is frozen hard their dainty bego- 
nia-like blooms, almost hidden in a clump of waxy evergreen leaves, will astonish one. It is 
best to select a place for this plant which is sheltered from the winds in the winter and where 
it can remainfor years m\^\%%vx\)%(^. Also a few large plants^ four to Jive years old^ at 'JS cents each 
HEMEROCALLIS AURANTIACA VAE. MAJOR. 2 to 23^ feet. June and July. Rich orange 
yellow, new and rare. Strong plants, so cents. 
HEMEROCALLIS DUMORTIERII (Early Yellow Lily), Japan. 1 to 2 feet. June. Deep yellow 
and fragrant. 
Makes a splendid foreground plant. 
HEMEROCALLIS FLAVA (Lemon Lily). 3 to 3 feet. June and July. Pale lemon yellow; fragrant. 
This old garden favorite is most effective when grown in generous masses. 
HEMEROCALLIS FULVA (Orange Lily). 2 to 4 feet. July and August. Orange red. 
HEMEROCALLIS FULVA VAR. KWANSO. 2 to 4 feet. July and August. Orange red; 
semi-double. 
HEMEROCALLIS THUNBERGII (Late Blooming Lemon Lily). 2 to 3 feet. Late June and 
July. Lemon yellow. 
HEUCHERA SANGUINEA (Coral-Bells). to 2 feet. July to October. 
The foliage of this plant in itself makes it worth having. The leaves are circular, with 
delicately fringed edges and of an attractive grayish marbled green and evergreen. They are 
about two inches in diameter, and as they grow form a round-like clump. The flowers are 
coral red, small, and produced in loose clusters on delicate, graceful stems which have the 
merit of appearing freely throughout the summer. Fine for cutting. 
HIBISCUS MOSCHEUTOS (Marsh-Mallow). 3 to 5 feet. July to September. Clear, rosy pink. 
HIBISCUS MOSCHEUTOS VAR. CRIMSON EYE. 3 to 5 feet. July to September. 
Like the preceding in form and habit in growth. The flowers, however, are much larger 
and better form. Of the purest white, excepting at the center, which is crimson. Both 
these Hibiscus do well in the garden, and also at the sea shore, where they luxuriate even 
where the ground gets an occasional soaking of salt water. Blooming, as they do, in July 
..^.4-^^^^* September, they are especially desirable for seashore gardening.
