HEDYCHIUM Coronarium (White Ginger Lily). 
Interesting light green, canna-like leaves surmounted by 
showy white, iris-shaped flowers that spread a heavy per¬ 
fume not soon forgotten. Blooms in the Fall. Grows to 
three feet. Plant in shade or half shade and keep wet. 
We don’t see how anyone can do without this intriguing 
plant. 3 inch pots at 15c each. Gal. containers, 35c each. 
HELENIUM autumnale superbum. 
A terribly long name but the plant is built to carry it. 
Grows as tall as golden rod. The flowers are sunflower¬ 
like in shape and color but only about half the size of our 
native sunflowers. The flower stems are thickly covered 
from the ground up with long narrow leaves. Plant it in 
a sunny background, give it a little fertilizer and copious 
amounts of water and watch it grow. Blooms in late 
Summer. 2% inch pots. Gal. containers. 
HELIANTHUS angustifolius (Perennial Sunflower). Another 
tall growing perennial, six to eight feet. Lofty, much- 
branched stems that carry a profusion of rich, single sun¬ 
flowers in Summer. Thrives in any soil. Plant in sun. 
Good for cutting. 2*4 inch pots. 
HELIOTROPE. Dark Blue Hybrid. 
Plant in a protected, half-shaded location in either pots 
or the open ground and enjoy the delightful fragrance of 
the immense trusses of deep blue flowers. Grows to three 
feet. Blooms continually. Gal. containers. 
*HELXINE Soleirolii. 
Moss-like plant with minute leaves. Used as a ground 
cover in shaded places it forms a perfect mat of bright 
green. Quite attractive as a border for shady fern or 
perennial beds. Flats of 100 plants, $1.25. 
HEMEROCALLIS (Day Lily). 
We don’t see how anyone can help but be enthusiastic 
over these colorful perennials. They are hardy to frost, 
easily grown and if an assortment of varieties is planted 
there will be hardly a time through the year that you 
can not enjoy their large yellow or orange blooms. Their 
long, slender, arching leaves prepare a perfect setting 
for lily like flowers that are borne in great abundance. 
Prefers sun. 
Dumortierii. Dwarf orange. Every year while the days 
are still frosty these dwarf plants remind us with their 
short stemmed orange flowers that Spring is just around 
the corner. Grows to one and one-half feet. 2 y 2 inch 
pots. Gal. containers. 
Evergreen. This variety carries foliage through the year. 
Lemon-yellow flowers in Summer. Grows to four feet. 
3 inch pots. 15c each. $1.50 dozen. Gal. containers.

five feet and blooms through Summer and Fall. Gal.

Middendorfii. Dwarf lemon-yellow. Blooms Spring and 
early Summer. 3 inch pots. 15c each. $1.50 dozen. Gal.

HIBISCUS Moscheutos. 
Will not freeze. A variety that dies to the ground in 
Winter and springs up bigger and better each Spring. 
Those of you who live in colder locations should pai ticu- 
larly appreciate these qualities. Grows to a height of six 
to eight feet in characteristic hibiscus manner and carries 
red, white or pink flowers that are larger than we have 
ever seen on any other variety. Plant in full sun. Gal. 
containers. 35c each. 
* Particularly useful in rock gardens.
