EEMOINE’S NEW HETjIOTKOPE. 
Heliotrope. 
LEMOINE’S NEW EARLY FLOWERINC GIANT. 
This new strain of Heliotrope, blooms in a very short I 
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 pan¬ 
icles of bloom are often six inches across, three times as large 
as ordinary Heliotrope, while the color range from indigo- 
black though all shades of blue to almost pure white, and 
some with red tints, others with large white eyes. In fra¬ 
grance they seem to surpass the ordinary sorts. A packet 
of this seed will furnish you a bed of flowers for your garden 
or lawn which would cost several dollars were you to pur¬ 
chase the plants, and give you great handfuls of the deli¬ 
cious blossoms all summer.10 & 20
