Double Hollyhocks 
Heuchera Sanguinea 
HELENIUM - Helen’s Flower 
A showy and useful family of plants for the summer and autumn decor- 
tion of the border, and lovely copper shaded or yellow flowers for cutting. 
The period of bloom is just before the outdoor Chrysanthemums, and 
they give us that first rich touch of autumn tints. Particularly valuable 
for those sections of the country where the Chrysanthemum is not hardy. 
No garden is complete without them. 
Culture. All will thrive in good, ordinary light soil, all require a sunny 
position. May be grown singly or two feet apart in masses. Plant in 
autumn or spring. 
Chippersfield Orange Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50, 100 $30.00 
Grows 4 feet tall with large heads of copper and gold blooms. A fine 
new variety blooming in August and September. This and Peregrina are 
the best of the tall growing varieties. 
Pumilum magnificum Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00 
Large, pale yellow flowers; one of the most floriferous and useful 
border plants in cultivation. Early, flowering from July to October. Can 
be successfully used in place of Coreopsis where a more restrained plant 
is required. Height 12 to 18 inches. 
Riverton Beauty Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00 
Pure lemon-yellow, with large disc of purplish black. 3 to 4 feet high;

plant. Height 3 to 4 feet. 
HELIANTHUS - Perennial Sunflower 
Very showy and attractive plants for border decoration, massing in the 
wild garden or flowers for cutting. 
Culture. Ordinary soil and a sunny position will suffice to grow Heli- 
anthus. Lift, divide and replant every second or third year to keep the 
plants compact and shapely. Few plants can equal the Helianthus for 
providing a gay display of color in the autumn garden. Plant in fall or 
spring, 12 inches apart. 
Multiflorus fl.-pl. Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00 
Clear yellow; closely resembling a small Dahlia in shape and finish. 
4 feet high. 
HELIOPSIS - Orange Sunflower 
Allied to the perennial Sunflower, belonging to the same order, and 
natives of America. They bear their large, orange colored flowers on long, 
wiry stems, and are invaluable for cutting. 
Culture. Grow in ordinary rich soil in a sunny border. They make a most 
effective feature grown in bold masses. Plant in autumn or spring, 12 
inches apart. Lift, divide and replant every third year. 
Scabra incomparabilis Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
Admitted to be one of the finest border perennials introduced in recent 
years. Received Award of Merit in England, 1933. The flowers are a rich 
golden yellow, nearly double, and over three inches in diameter. It is of 
easy growth, attaining a height of about three feet, and is in flower con- 
tinuously from July to autumn. 
Gold-Greenheart Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
This new variety was received a year ago from Europe where it is rec- 
ognized as well as in the United States as the best of the Heliopsis. It 
grows into a fine floriferous plant about 3 to 4 feet high with clean 
foliage. It produces a prolific display of fully and closely double 
Buttercup-yellow flowers which are superb for cutting. It makes a 
wonderful display in the garden. An added interest is the small emerald- 
green heart which shows when the flowers are opening. This disappears 
when the blooms are fully developed. The recurving petals, its clear 
yellow color as well as freedom of bloom make this a wonderful plant. 
Absolutely hardy anywhere and of easiest culture. 
Helenium, Riverton Beauty
