low. It is early as compared to most species.

very handsome and borne in great profusion.

H. orgyalis (II. salicifolius) . Graceful Sun¬ 
flower. One of the most valuable perennial 
Sunflowers. Attains a height of G to 10 feet in 
good soil, and soon forms large clumps. Its

most attractive appearance most of the summer; 
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
