SUNFLOWER (Helianthus). 
“As for * * * valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden 
without them , both for their men sake , and for the sake of old fashioned 
folks , who used to love them ."—Henry Ward Beecher. 
In the Helianthus we have beautiful gems that should be in every 
garden. They are perfectly hardy in this locality, but in colder regions 
a protection of coarse litter will be required. The plants attain a height 
of about four feet, and, in their blooming season, which is in August and 
September, they are nearly covered with bright golden-yellow, douoie | 
flowers, about the size of a Dahlia. In fact, at first sight it may be easliy 
taken for a plant of yellow Dahlia. The flowers are very desirable and 
showy for cutting, remaining bright and fresh for several days. 
CHINESE PEONIES. 
At the roots 
Of pasony bushes in rose-red heaps , 
Or snowy , fallen bloom. —Jean Ingelow. 
The Chinese Pteonies are valuable on account of their large size, beau¬ 
tiful coloring and delightful f ragrauce. They are perfectly hardy, never 
suffering injury from cold, and will succeed in any ground unless so wet 
that the water will lie on the surface in the winter and spring. They 
may be planted either in the autumn or spring, and are transported with 
greater safety than most any plant — not one in a hundred failing.

spicy odor.
