shade it will grow in garden soil of ordinary dryness. Makes 
an effective and unusual potplant. Seed seldom sets under 
cultivation, but our plants this year have given us a fine 
set of plump seeds. Slow germinating, but worthy all 
patience. Pkt. 25c. #

HEMEROCALLIS HYBRIDS 
Here are the new Day Lilies that have of late been so 
much in horticultural news. Marvelous tones of lemon, buff, 
gold, orange and copper, with tawny shadings and ruddy 
overlays. Many are fragrant, all are hardy. About half the 
seed _ ;n this blend is saved directly from large-flowering 
hybrid named varieties. The balance is product of hand- 
pollenized blooms of such species as Dumortieri, Minor, 
Aurantiaca, Middendorffi, Fulva, Citrina, Flava and Serotina, 
pollen in each instance, and daily, being transferred with soft 
brush, from one species to another. There should be rather 
wonderful variation among the plants produced from this 
seed. _ Hemerocallis seed grows quite readily if sown while 
soil is cool, late fall or early spring. Any sowings made 
in summer, should be in carefully shaded seed-bed. The Day 
Lilies cut well, and are always ornamental in the border. 
They seem to have no diseases, and given any chance at 
all, they will thriftily take care of themselves. Pkt. 16c; 
1/4 oz. 60c; 14 oz. $1.00. # 
HEPATICA ACUTILOBA—inltsty(l)8. Lovely flower of

blue and purple will appear, with blush white and buff- 
tinged pink. Hepaticas may be forced effectively and readily. 
Pkt. 20c. # 
HEPATICA TRILOBA—Different leaf shape, and acid tol¬ 
erant. Otherwise like acutiloba. Pkt. 20c. #

succulent that seems to blend Yucca, Aloe and Agave. Tall 
inflorescence of pretty rosy-red bells. Hardy in south, but 
for pot or tub culture north. Pkt. 15c. 
HESPERANTHERA BUHRI—eufx(utw) (1-7)8. Pink buds 
open to fragrant white at dusk. Pkt. 20c. 
HESPERIS ALPINA—ebx(2)36. It throws itself so heart¬ 
ily into the mass production of beauty that it is apt to 
exhaust its strength in a single season. It is easy, though 
to keep a succession of plants, for no species germinates 
more readily. Great bloom-panicles in what I think of, 
for no good reason, as the “paint” range, lavender, lilac, 
mauve, violet and purple, palest flushings to deep vividness. 
Pkt. 15c. # 
HESPERIS NIVEA—-erx(2)10. Dense terminal clusters of 
pure white flowers. Altogether distinct, and meritorious 
species. Pkt. 15c. #

are decorative low-spreading rosettes of foliage. Early next 
spring, stems rise in tangled bush form, each ending in an 
enormous panicle of glowing violet bloom, a pure, rich, 
deep shade. Remains attractive for many weeks. Rare 
species from the Crimea. Pkt. 15c. # 
HESPERIS TRISTIS — erbx(2-3)26. Clustered blossoms, 
usually nut-brown, but varying from sepia-veined cream to 
full purple. Dusk-fragrant. Will naturalize. Pkt. 10c. #
