^Heliopsis—Lemoine 
Also Known as Orange Sunflower

somewhat similar to an enormous Zinnia. Fully 
twice as large as other Heliopsis. Spring sown 
seed should produce flowers in July. Stems are 
long and stout. Besides being a very showy plant

Haines Sweet Scented Heliotrope 
Delicate Purplish Lilac Colored Flowers of Sweet 
and Exquisite Perfume 
GIANT HYBRIDS —My new hybrids of this beauti¬ 
ful flower, I believe, are unequalled. Flowers 
are large and of unusually sweet fragrance. The 
Heliotrope is a tender annual 15 inches in height, 
and is a universal favorite on account of its 
fragrance and duration of bloom. They will blos¬ 
som equally well as plants in the garden during 
the summer, or as pot plants in the home in the 
winter. Plant liberally this year—a packet will 
give you many blossoms all summer, but % 
ounce is not too much for even a small yard. 
Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 40c; V 2 oz. $1.25. 
Ice Plant 
Handsome and curious trailing plants for hang¬ 
ing baskets, vases and the garden, the foliage ap¬ 
pearing as though covered with ice crystals. 
This is one of the most beautiful and effective 
basket plants that can be grown. Dwarf annual 
trailer 6 inches high, makes a fine show in the 
Rock Garden. Pkt. 7c; Vs oz. 15c; V 2 oz. 50c. 
Gloxinia—Hybrida 
One of the Most Beautiful Flowers that 
Bloom 
The Gloxinia is a grand flower and 
makes a lovely pot plant, as easily grown 
and cared for as many of the common 
flowers. The handsome bell-shaped flow¬ 
ers embrace a great variety of the rich¬ 
est and most beautiful colors, ranging 
from pure white to dark blood red, pink 
blush, lavender, indigo blue, marbled and 
spotted. They will bloom in four to five 
months from time seed is sown. Pkt. 12c.

Helichrysum 
(Everlasting Straw Flower) 
Succeeds in any good garden soil,. prefers sun. The 
large, double flowers of rich, glittering colors in 
August and September make fine display in beds and 
borders, but are especially grown to dry for winter 
use inside. For this, they should be cut when flow¬ 
ers are about one-third open and with as long stems 
as possible; foliage removed; tied in bunches and hung 
up with heads downward in some dry place until stems 
are thoroughly dry. Height of plant 2 to 3 feet. 
We offer these choice colors and our special mixture.
