fusion, size and brilliancy of their flowers. They are 
in bloom from early summer until frost. Unexcelled 
for beds, borders, or for cuttings; should be sown

HELIOTROPE 
Everyone loves the delicate fragrance and beauty 
of the Heliotrope, but few know that it can be raised 
from the seed as easily as the Verbenas. To insure a 
long period of bloom, seed should be sown early 
indoors.

HYACINTH BEAN (Dolichos Lablab) 
Splendid climbers with abundant clustered spikes 
of purple and white flowers, which are followed by

HOLLYHOCK (Althaea Rosea) 
For a background to a flower garden nothing is 
better than the improved strains we offer of this 
tall, old-fashioned garden perennial. The large, rich¬ 
ly colored blossoms, about three inches across rang¬ 
ing from deep yellow and red to pure white, are set 
as rosettes around the strong growing flower stalks. 
Sow seed in June or July, in open ground, and 
in the autumn, transplant to permanent position two 
or three feet apart. The following summer they will 
bloom. All double varieties are hardy perennials; 
five feet high. Pkt. 10c. 
JAPANESE HOP (Humulus Japonicus) 
A rapid growing, perfectly hardy annual climber 
of the hop family, of the easiest culture and indis- 
pensible for covering unsightly objects or verandas, 
trellises, etc. Variegated leaves. Pkt. 10c. 
LARKSPUR, ANNUAL 
(Delphinium Ajacis) 
A splendid annual for general garden culture. 
Seed sown early in April will produce flowering 
plants early in July and then a continuous succession 
of bloom until frost. The flowers are produced on 
spikes and are of a great variety of color. Make 
charming bouquets and stand up well. Height two 
feet. Double mixed. Pkt. 5c. 
GERANIUM

more universally admired than the Geranium. Com¬ 
monly propagated by cuttings but may also be grown
