MICHELL’S HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
HELIOPSIS (Orange Sunflower) 
This genus is very similar to the Helianthus. They are tall- 
growing plants, well suited for the back of flower borders, where 
they flower beautifully throughout the Summer. 
Pitcheriana. One of the best hardy plants for the perennial 
border. Daisy-shaped flowers of deep orange color, on good 
stems for cutting. 2 to 3 feet. 
Scabra Excelsa. A new variety with very rich chrome-yellow 
flowers, turning to a bright yellow as they mature. These are 
almost double, having from 4 to 5 rows of petals, and are 
produced very profusely. The plant is of robust growth, about 
3 feet high. Mid-July to the end of August. 
Price, 4 for $1.00 (by P. P., $1.10); $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 
per 100. 
HELLEBORUS NIGER (Christmas Rose) 
Particularly valuable hardy plants on account of their very 
early flowering, usually coming into bloom, in sheltered, well 
drained, partially shaded positions during February or March. 
Flowers white flushed with purple and about 2 inches in diameter; 
12 inches high. $1.00 each. 
HEMEROCALLIS (Yellow Day Lily) 
Liiy-like plants, flowering in great profusion during the 
Summer, making a fine cut bloom.

fragrant and fine for cutting.

THE NEW BETSCHER HYBRID

Goldeni. The many fine deep orange flowers are produced freely 
in early July; quite vigorous in growth and a most effective 
garden variety; 3 feet. $1.00 each. 
Gypsy. Brilliant deep orange flowers on 3-foot slender stems dur¬ 
ing July. A showy plant for the small border. $1.00 each.

excellent for cutting. 
3 for $1.00 (by P. P., $1.10); $3.00 per doz.; per 100, $18.00. 
HOLLYHOCKS (Double) 
These thrive best in soil that is not too wet, which should be 
enriched with well-rotted stable or sheep manure. While perfectly 
hardy, we recommend protecting them slightly during the Winter 
with leaves, long manure or straw. To guard against fungus or 
rust we recommend spraying the plants in early Spring with 
Pyrox or Bordeaux Mixture. 
Our strain of these is very fine, and we offer the following 
colors in double flowering only (each separate): 
Yellow, Crimson, Pink, White. 
Allegheny. Large flowers having loosely arranged fringed petals, 
varying in color from pale pink to deep red. We can supply 
these in mixed colors only. 
Single. The artistic single Hollyhock is becoming more popular 
each season. They are of stronger growth than the double 
flowering type and consequently make a better showing. We 
can supply these in mixed colors only. 
Price of Hollyhocks, 4 for $1.00 (by P. P., $1.10); $2.50 per 
doz.; per 100, $15.00. 
Hemerocallis 
HIBISCUS (Mallow) 
Giant Flowering. A wonderfully improved form of our greatly 
admired Marsh Mallows. They are unusually attractive and 
form real show plants during their flowering season. They 
attain a height of 6 to 7 feet, have beautiful laciniated foliage 
and monstrous flowers, measuring from 6 to 8 inches in diameter. 
We offer these in separate colors, Pink, Red and White. 3 for 
$1.00 (by P. P., $1.10); $2.50 per doz.; per 100, $15.00. 
HYPERICUM (St. John s Wort) 
Moserianum. A most desirable border plant, of free and grace¬ 
ful habit, producing long, slender, much-branched stems, leafy 
to the base and all drooping towards the ends, apparently 
from the weight of the flowers and buds, although the flowers 
face, so none of their beauty is lost. Free-flowering, of large 
size, measuring from 2 to 2^ inches in diameter; color rich 
golden yellow, which is rendered still more effective by the 
numerous yellow stems and crimson anthers; blooms con¬ 
tinuously. 2 feet. 
Patulum Henryi. One of the newer varieties of St. John’s 
Wort, of shrubby habit, growing from 2 to 3 feet high, pro¬ 
ducing masses of large clear yellow flowers during July and 
August and retaining its neat foliage until late in the Autumn. 
—Grandiflorum. A very vigorous growing introduction from 
China with large broad petalled flowers of a bright yellow. 
4 for $1.00 (by P. P., $1.10); $2.50 per doz.; per 100, $15.00. 
IBERIS (Hardy Candytuft) 
The Hardy Candytufts are low-growing plants, with ever¬ 
green foliage. In Spring and early Summer they are completely 
covered with dense heads of pure white flowers. For borders and 
rockeries they are unsurpassed. 
Little Gem. Dwarf; pure white flowers in June; its uniform 
neat habit makes it one of our best rock or edging plants. 4 for 
$1.00 (by P. P., $1.10); $2.50 per doz.; per 100, $15.00. 
INCARVILLEA (Trumpet Flower) 
Fleshy rooted perennials of striking beauty. They have 
coarsely toothed or pinnate leaves and showy trumpet-shaped 
flowers borne in terminal racemes. Choice plants for the sunny 
border; should be well protected with leaves during the Winter. 
Grand Brevipes. Large brilliant crimson-rose flowers. 
Grand Amaranth. A true amaranth. A distinct beauty. 
Delavayi. Large Gloxinia-like, rose-colored flowers during June 
and July.
