Humuius Japcnicus. 
HUMULUS JAPONICUS, 
HEUCHERA 
SANGUINEA. 
Truly a floral gem and 
one of the most valuable 
additions to the list of 
hardy flowering plants 
that has appeared in a 
long time. The foliage, 
which is evergreen, is 
beautifully cut and mar¬ 
bled and is very abundant. 
The flowers are borne in 
large, open, clean-stemmed 
panicles, and are of the 
most clear, bright, cheer¬ 
ful and charming scarlet 
imaginable. Although the 
flowers are small, yet they 
are so numerous in each 
panicle, and the panicles 
are thrown up in such pro¬ 
fusion as to produce a most 
brilliant effect. Blooming 
as it does for a period of 
several weeks, and as each 
plant frequently sends up 
a dozen or more stems of 
its lovely flowers at a time, 
some idea of its beauty and 
value can be formed. Pkt., 
100 seeds, 6 cts. 
Fannie E. Jones, Proctor, Tex., 
Jan. 16, '97, writes:—I have used 
your seeds for two years and was 
delighted with them, my bed of 
Petunias was magnificent. 
Mrs. H. L. Lyon, Monroeton, Pa., 
writes:—I purchased seeds of you 
last season and was well pleased. 
The Asters and Balsams were es¬ 
pecially fine. 
(Japanese Hop.) 
One of the most rapid climbers grown, seed can be 
sown in the open ground in spring and it will attain 
enormous dimensions very quickly. The foliage is 
luxuriant and it is. one of the best plants for covering 
verandas and trellises. Heat, drought and insects do 
not trouble it. Pkt., 50 seeds, 4 cts. 
Laura E. Taylor, Clarksburg, W. 
Va., March 11, 1897, writes:—Your 
seeds have always been of the 
very best, wishing you continued 
success. 
Mrs. E; M. Murray, Blair, Neb., 
February 3, 1897, writes:— I have 
always had the best success with 
your seeds and I wish you the best 
success in the seed business. 
HELECHRYSUM. 
A very popular everlasting, large, full double 
flowers of various colors, from bright yellow to scar¬ 
let, shaded and tipped. Handsome bouquets maybe 
formed of them for winter, if blossoms are gathered 
when on the point of expanding. Pkt., 100 seeds, 
3 cts. 
ICE PLANT, Mesembryanthemum. 
A handsome and curious plant, for hanging bas¬ 
kets, rock work and vases. The leaves and stems 
appear as though covered with icy crystals and look 
like rock candy. The whole plant is peculiarly bril¬ 
liant in the sunshine. Pkt., 200 seeds, 3 cts. 
IMPATIENS SULTANI. 
This most distinct and beautiful plant is almost a 
perpetual bloomer. The flowers are of a brilliant rosy 
scarlet color, and are produced so freely that a full 
grown specimen appears to be a ball of flowers, and 
continues in full beauty several months. Pkt., 20 
seeds, 4 cts.
