borders, as edgings to walks, flower beds, and excellent for the rock 
garden. They have heart-shaped leaves and bear their dainty blooms 
in graceful panicles or racemes. 
Culture. Heucheras require a well-drained, fairly rich, and not too 
heavy soil, also a sunny position. Plant 6 inches apart in autumn or 
early spring. Each spring top dress with well-decayed manure. Lift, 
divide and replant every third year for best results.

Gentian does in Switzerland.

Heliopsis Scabra Excelsa 
Hibiscus (New Giant Strain) 
HOLLYHOCKS - Althea Rosea 
Handsome garden flowers full of sentiment and association with the 
past. Extensively grown not only in this country, but throughout the 
world; were originally derived from Althea rosea, a Chinese species. 
When well grown, there are no finer hardy plants in the garden than 
a good group of them in full flower. At one time preference was given 
to the double-flowered kinds, but people are beginning to realize that 
the single flowered sorts have a distinct beauty and charm of their own. 
Culture. Hollyhocks require a rich, generous, well drained soil. If in 
the least degree heavy, add plenty of sand and manure to lighten it, 
and should it be inclined to be too light, dig in plenty of cow manure 
with a little heavy loam. The plants must have full sun, and they 
show to the best advantage when grouped together in bold masses. As 
the plants grow 6 to 8 feet high, they must, of course, be grown at 
the back of the border, and they should be fully eight inches apart. 
Plant in fall or spring. 
Double Triumph Mixed Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00
