Helenium Autumnale Superbum. 
New Japanese Everblooming 
Hollyhocks. 
Flower the firs + season from spring-sown seed. Bloom 
profusely from July until frost. Again has the flower 
tairy tapped at the door of the Flowery Kingdom, the 
realm of the dragon—the land of the Cherry blossom 
and of Madam Chrysanthemum, and behold this won¬ 
derful everblooming Hollyhock is given us. The art 
and the skill of these people who mold and lead nature 
at will, as these people seem to do, is marvelous. They 
work, and they play, and they worship among their 
flowers from the blossoming of the Cherry to the 
Chrysanthemum. In these superb flowers there are the 
tints of dawn and of the setting sun—blazing crimsons, 
scarlets and maroons, golden yellow and lemon tints. 
Start seed early and up to May. When planting out, 
give deep and rich soil, and water well when dry. Pick 
old seed pods as fast as formed. 
Packet, 60 seeds, 10c.
