LEMOINE’S NSW EARLY-FLOWERiNC GIANT. 
For our magnificent Primrose see Colored Plate No. 6. 
This new strain of Heliotrope blooms in a very short time 
from seed, and plants are as easily raised from seed as 
Pansies or Asters. The seedlings make a rapid growth and 
are in bloom in a short time. They bloom abundantly in 
the garden all summer, or all the year round in pots. The 
panicles of bloom are often six inches across, three times as 
large as ordinary Heliotrope, while the colors range from 
indigo-black through all shades of blue to almost pure white, 
and some with red tints, others with large white eyes. In 
fragrance they seem to surpass the ordinary sorts. A packet 
of this seed will furnish a bed of flowers for your garden or 
lawn which would cost several dollars were you to purchase 
the plants, and give you great handfuls of the delicious blos¬ 
soms all summer ......... .15

This elegant vine is easily 
grown from seed, which, 
though slow to germinate, 
is sure to grow. Not only a 
fine window vine, but ex¬ 
ceedingly fine for outdoor 
planting wherever a small 
growing vine is wanted. In 
the open ground it grows 
luxuriantly, furnishing 
great quantities of its dainty 
glossy-green sprays that are 
exquisite to use in cut-flower 
work, and remains fresh and 
green until after early frosts. 
In the house it requires good 
light and freedom from dust. 
Its feathery little blooms are 
delicately fragrant, but its 
chief merit is its exquisitely 
beautiful foliage.5
