Hardy Perennials

Helianthus orgyalis (II. salicifolius) . Graceful 
Sunflower. One of the most valuable perennial 
Sunflowers. Attains a height of G to 10 feet in 
good soil, and soon forms large clumps. Its 
narrow, drooping foliage gives a mass of it a

and when, finally, the large, handsome yellow 
flowers appear in great profusion, just before 
frost, and endure after some of the first hard 
freezings, we have to acknowledge it to be one 
of the finest of its class in cultivation. Late
