1 BEAUTY BY DAY 3 MK 
In a free translation, HEMEROCALLIS might HELIANTHUS 
mean Beauty by Day, though more usually it is @eLaZVa5 
called the Golden Day Lily, a name no longer ; 
accurate since the color range has been extended so glori- 
ously into the rose to maroon range. Hemerocallis is al- 
ways fully winter-hardy and easy, thriving in full sun, but 
tolerating shade. Seeds germinate readily, and sown early 
will often yield an occasional flower the first season. “kt.” 
HEMEROCALLIS PEERLESS HYBRIDS—This year seeds 
from red and rose toned varieties, from those with dark 
shadings, along with bicolors that contrast light and dark 
in the same flower, have been added to this blend. And it 
still contains those marvelous harmony-delights in lemon, 
buff, gold, orange and copper, often with tawny shadings 
or ruddy overlays. Many will be fragrant. Seeds are all 
from fine, large-flowered hybrids. Plant much of it, for 
thanks of long, future years. Pkt. 25c; zs oz. 35ce; \% oz. 
60c; % oz. $1.00. (Plants, one-year seedlings or older di- 
visions supplied in mixture at each 40c; 3 for $1.15; 10 
for $3.40). 
DAY-LILY SPECIAL—One plant each of 8 splendid Heme- 
rocallis varieties, all named but supplied here under number 
only, for $3.45 the lot of eight. Total of their separate 
prices as listed at our Nursery is $4.45. Order the Day- 
Lily Special as OFFER 79A35. 
HEMEROCALLIS FINE MIXED—A mixture of seeds of 
many species (botanical) of Hemerocallis, and will show 
considerable variation, but much less than in the newer 
Peerless Hybrids offered above, and the flowers will not be 
quite as large. This mixture is particularly satisfactory 
for large plantings, where effects in color mass are desired. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% oz. 30c; %4 oz. 50e; (Plants of botanic species, 
not hybrids, in mixture, pale lemon to orange-toned golden,

“ THE PERFUMED HELIOTROPE 
Cherry Pie, that is an oldtime name for Heliotrope, but 
whether the name was suggested by the rich darkness of it, 
or is simply in reminder association of two very good 
things, it will take someone wiser than we to determine. 
Heliotrope is valued as much for its fragrance as for its 
beauty, indeed for both. For summer garden use it is 
usually grown as an annual from early spring sowings, 
but also it may be sown in late summer, handled then as a 
long-blooming winter pot plant. Large dense sprays in 
varied tones, lavender to deepest purple, often with white 
eye. Pkt. 15c.

CORAL BELL HYBRIDS—eerkt (2-3) 25.

mostly bright red to crimson, with occasional plants in rosy 
pink to coral. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c. 
OFFER 80A55—One pkt. each of the three for 40c. 
1 HEUCHERA ROSAMUNDI—A dainty, long-blooming va- 
riety with airy blossoms in a lacelike profusion, enchant- 
ing pink to rosy coral. Plants, each 50c; 3 for $1.40. 
1 HEUCHERA RAIN OF FIRE—Brilliant red, truly in ef- 
fect of showers of fire, are the graceful sways of blossom- 
ing. Dependable, long-lived, long-blooming sort. Plants, 
each 50c; 8 for $1.40. 
1 HIBISCUS or ROSE MALLOW 
Gorgeous blossoms here, exceeding brilliance of coloring. 
There are few more satisfactory perennials among the 
larger kinds. COCCINEUS—ebk(4)60. Rich, pure color 
here, great flower-chalices of satiny rose-red, deeper within. 
Pkt. 10c; %4 oz. 35ce. MILITARIS—ebk(2-3)50. Campan- 
ulate flowers in striate pink. Halberd shaped leaves. Pkt. 
ldc. (Plants, each 30c; 3 for 85c; 10 for $2.40). AVALON 
HYBRIDS—ebk (3-4)50. New hybrid strain, Militaris crossed 
on Coccineus. Different in flower-form, foliage, season, 
plant habit and blossom colorings from the more usual 
Giant Mallow Marvels. The flowers mostly have hint of 
bell shape, and vary from palest blush through many a 
tone of pink, then rose, culminating in reds of rich vivid- 
ness never before seen in hardy Hibiscus. Center eyes are 
rare, but oddly rotate, unsymmetrical stainings of deeper 
color often appear. Blooming season is much longer than 
in other strains, flowers unfolding until past middle of 
October. Pkt. 20c; » oz. 35c: 4% oz. 60c. (Plants, each 
35c; 3 for $1.00; 10 for $3.00. These are one-year seedlings

GIANT MALLOW MARVELS—ebx (3) 50. Magnificent 
flower-bowls, from palest blush, through soft and pure 
pinks, to rose, with snowy white and pure crimson. Center 
eyes often appear, but not color stainings. Pkt. 10c; \% 
oz. 25c. (Plants, unbloomed, one-year seedlings, each 30c; 
3 for 85c; 10 for $2.50). SYRIACUS—ebk(4) This is the 
hardy shrub or small tree that is commonly known as Al- 
thea. Flower colorings of white, blush, diverse pinks, rosy 
red, blue-violet and the like. Pkt. 15c; 3 for 40c. PAR- 
AMUTABILIS bkt(8) 10 ft. A rare shrubby Hibiscus 
from central China that has proved fully hardy without 
protection at Old Orchard. Big flower-bowls with silky, 
somewhat fluted petals, pure white with dark crimson cen-

sometimes more than a foot across and long, five-pointed, 
downy, bases cordate. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c. HUEGELI
