HUNNEMANNIA FUMARI/EFOLIA 
Don’t Fail to Save a Spot in the 
Garden for this Beautiful Flower 
This most beautiful plant forms a shrubby bush two feet in height, with finely-cut foliage 
similar to that of the Eschscholtzia, and produces its large tulip-shaped flowers on long stiff 
stems, from August till November. The color is a clear, brilliant yellow, the petals resembling 
crushed satin. The flowers will keep in water for several days. Seed should be sown quite early 
in the spring, in shallow drills, where the plants are to bloom, as they do not stand trans¬ 
planting. The Hunnemannia will always give satisfaction, and we heartily recommend it . io 
HELIOTROPE 
This class of plants is one of the finest for cutting, as the delicious fragrance of all the varieties 
is very durable. For the same reason they make excellent house plants. Seed sown early in 
the spring in the house will make fine plants for summer bedding.

HUNNEMANNIA FUMARLEFOLIA 
ROCHIA SCOPARIA 
Makes a Beautiful Specimen Plant, or 
Grown in Hedge Form is most attractive. 
May also be trimmed to any shape or form 
Although this is not a new plant, it is so little known, and so attractive in appearance, that we 
consider it worthy a place in the garden. It grows two to two and a half feet high, with many 
slender branches pressed close to the main stem, and resembles a small, closely-sheared ever¬ 
green, the slender foliage being light green until September, when the whole plant is a solid 
mass of crimson. Seeds germinate readily, and may be sown in the open ground about the 
first of May. The plants should stand about two feet apart. xo 
HYACINTH BEAN-Dolichos 
Lablab. This really beautiful climbing plant is of quick growth ; the foliage is handsome,
