Sit., sun. Soil, any garden loam, but if rich and moist, larger plants will be produced 
Prop., divisions. PL, October to April. Perfectly hardy anywhere in the United States! 
HELIANTHUS. See Sunflowers. 
HELIANTHEMUMS, or Sun Roses, are low, spreading evergreen plants which for 
months in summer are almost hidden by their dainty flowers which are usually single 
and resemble little roses. We have nothing prettier in their class, and they are hardy, 
long-lived, and easily grown. In colors they give wide choice, as they vary from white 
to rose and red. They are drought-resisting, but respond wonderfully to rich soil and 
care and are lime-lovers. I have a single plant, 5 feet across, which is a sight to be 
remembered when at its best. For sunny rockwork, the front of the border, banks, or 
the top of a wall they are good. Sit*, sun or light shades. Soil, any, but light preferred. 
Prop., from cuttings. PL, any time, as they come in pots. Single White, Soft Rose- 
Pink, Cerise, Yellow and double Dark Red. All at 30 cts. each, in pots. 
HELIOPSIS helianthoides Pitcheriana. A dwarf, bushy plant attaining a height 
of 2 to 3 feet and a spread of 3 to 4 feet. In autumn this plant produces great quantities 
of deep yellow flowers, quite valuable for cutting. It is especially good for dry locations. 
HEMEROCALLIS, o r 
Lemon Lilies, have an abun- 
dance of grasslike, graceful 
foliage and funnel-shaped lily- 
like flowers of large size, borne 
on many-flowered stems dur- 
ing a long season. In bloom 
they much resemble some of 
the tiger lilies. Perfectly 
hardy throughout the North 
and East, they are easily 
grown in any garden soil, 
while especially happy in 
loamy soil about a pond or a 
stream-side. Instead of bulbs 
they have thick, fleshy, fib- 
rous roots. Sit., sun or light 
shade, the latter preferable. 
Soil, any garden soil, moist 
and loamy preferable. Prop., 
divisions reset about fourth 
year. PL, October to April.
