Real Pleasure. 
To make others happy gives real pleasure. Our cup of 
pleasure is full.—Thousands of letters received tell of the 
very great satisf action given by our Novelties of last season 
—They read “No Garden is complete without Golden Nug¬ 
get, it is the sweetest and best table corn ever grown." “The 
Charmer Pea for yielding, quality and table use, is unsur¬ 
passed." 
HELIANTHUS. 
Coarse, tall plants, from four to eight feet in height, bright, yellow flow, 
ers. The well-known old Sunflower is a Heliauthus. The best double 
varieties produce a very good effect among shrubbery, and when used 
as screens. The Sunflower is hardy and sometimes reproduces itself 
from self-sown seed. The seeds of the single varieties are of consider¬ 
able value for oil as well as for feeding poultry. Heliauthus multiflorus 
plenus, described under “Hardy Plants and Bulbs,” is a variety that j$ 
attracting much attention. It can be obtained only as a plant, and we 
recommend our friends to try it.

HOLLYHOCK 
A good, double, clear white Hollyhock 
is a very good substitute for a Camellia 
or a white Rose, as a center of a bouquet. 
We do not now think of one as good, ex¬ 
cept the double white Balsam. In situ¬ 
ations suitable for tall flowers we know 
of nothing better than the Hollyhock; 
and yet the improved varieties do not 
grow very high, from four to five feet 
being about the average. The Holly¬ 
hock is biennial. New plants are ob¬ 
tained from seed and by dividing the 
roots. Seeds sown in the summer will 
give plants that will endure winter. The 
Hollyhock will last a great while, for 
several years, if not allowed to flower 
too freely. Plants are, however,so easily 
grown from seed that little trouble is 
usually taken to preserve old plants. 
The plants may be protected during 
winter with a little straw and evergreen 
boughs, or leaves.

double and fine, from the best
