Heuchera Sanguinea... 
This perfectly hardy perennial is easily 
grown from seed and is not only valuable for the gar¬ 
den but is highly recommended for florists. The spikes 
of brilliant crimson flowers extend high above the 
foliage and are admirably adapted for cut flowers and 
bouquets. The plants are about eighteen inches high, 
of bushy habit. The leaves are light green and slightly 
hairy. If started early indoors the plants will flower 
abundantly and continuously the first season, but as 
their flowering capacity increases with age, their full 
beauty is not developed until the second year.
