HELIANTHUS MULT. PLENUS. 
(Double Sunflower, or Sunflower 
Dahlia). 
This liardv perennial sunflower grows 
from 3 to 5 feet in height and produces in 
g reat profusion its veiy double golden yellow 
lossoms, in size and shape much like the 
Double Dahlia. Graceful, and not overgrown, 
it makes a beautiful show on the lawn, and 
nothing excels it as a floral hedge; splendid 
also for cutting. Very hardy, living out even 
in Minnesota’s severe winters. The roots 
of one plant put into the cellar in the fall in¬ 
sure a whole garden of sunflowers for the 
next season. These cut and planted in the 
spring will produce a plant from every joint, 
which will blossom profusely the following 
fall. Not obtained from seed. One strong, 
well-rooted plant free with a 50-cent seed 
order, or postpaid by mail for 15 cents. 
Plants will not bo shlppod until April 1st, after danger of freezing here in transportation Is past.
