HETEROCENTRON. 
A free blooming plant of easy cultivation, adapted either for bedding out or pot 
culture. It is a fine plant for Winter blooming, at which time it produces long ra¬ 
cemes of beautiful flowers.

HOYA CARNOSA—Wax Plant. 
A climbing plant, with thick, fleshy leaves, bearing umbels of beautiful flesh-col¬ 
ored, star-shaped flowers. One of the best plants for house culture, as it stands the 
extremes of heat and cold better than most plants, and is not easily Injured by neg¬ 
lect. Price.20 to 35 cents. 
HYACINTHUS CANDICANS. 
HIBISCUS. 
Large growing tropical shrubs, with very glossy foliage. The plants, under the 
hottest sun, produce enormous flowers in great numbers, and make noble speci¬ 
mens. They can be grown in tubs, and kept lor years. The blooms average five or 
six Inches in diameter, and are gorgeously colored. The plants can be Wintered 
over in a warm, dry cellar or pit. I have reduced the prices of these beautiful plants 
so as to place them within the reach of all, wishing them to become better known.

some. Price.15 cents.

HONEYSUCKLE.

Heliauthns lUultiilora Plena. 
A magnificent Yucca-like plant, producing in July and August a flower stem three 
to four feet high, covered with from twenty to thirty pure white pendant bell-shaped 
flowers. This plant is rapidly gaining well-deserved popularity, and should find a 
place in every collection. It is believed that it will prove perfectly hardy, having 
stood the recent severe Winters in Europe without injury. Price.20 cents. 
HELIANTHUS MULTIFLORA PLENA. 
Although this grand plant belongs to the Helianthus family, it does not resemble 
the Sunflower, but looks more like a Dahlia. The plant grows from four to flve feet 
high, branches freely, and from July to October is covered from top to bottom with 
bright golden-yellow flowers, the size and shape of double Danlias. It will thrive in 
almost any soil, and is hardy if covered with leaves or straw. Wherever grown this 
Helianthus has invariably given satisfaction and pleasure. I can recommend it for 
pl»nting singly or in clumps for the lawn or garden and lor furnishing a supply of 
beautiful golden cut flowers that can be used lor vases or wearing and will not lade 
in a lew hours, as so many flowers are apf to do at that season of the year. 
Price, 20 cents, three for 60 cents, eight for $1. (See cut.) 
HOLLYHOCKS—Double. 
An old-time favorite, and one of the most valued of Summer flowers. They em¬ 
brace all shades of pink, maroon, rose, yellow, etc., and from their stately growth 
and magnificent spikes of flowers may justly demand a place in every collection, 
when suitable situations for its tall growth aie found. I would call especial atten¬ 
tion to my fine strain of double Hollyhocks. Price, 10 cents each; |1 per dozen. 
I have also in special color the following; Double Pink, Double Crimson, 
Double White, Double Yellow, at 15 cents each, or the set of four for 50 cents. 
IBERIS. 
Iberls Sempervlrens.—A fine, hardy plant, of dwarf habit, with pure white, fra¬ 
grant flowers, blooming Summer and Winter. Very desirable for cemetery 
planting. Price.15 cents. 
IMPATIENS SULTANI. 
This is the most distinct and beautiful of all flowering plants of recent Introduc¬ 
tion, cither as a Winter-blooming pot plant or for the border in Summer. It is of a 
compact, neat habit of growth, with good constitution and perpetual bloomer. The 
flowers are of a brilliant rosy-scarlet color, of a peculiarly distinct, but most effective 
hue, about one and a half inches in diameter, and are produced singly or in twos and 
threes from the axils of the leaves, especially towards the summit of the stems, but 
so freely that a well-grown specimen appears to be quite a ball of fire. I commend 
this highly. See cut on following page. Price,.20 cents.
