Helianthus Multiflorus Fl.-Pl. 
GRASSES, Hardy Ornamental 
There are several varieties of hardy grasses that are distinctly attractive 
plants for the flower garden. Many of them are of noble, and others of 
medium or low growth. All produce a striking effect when growing in 
isolated positions on the lawn, or add to the grace of the border by their 
elegant green or variegated foliage. 
Culture. All will thrive in good, ordinary and well drained soil. Plant in 
early spring or fall, about 2 feet apart for the tall growing varieties; dwarf 
sorts about 12 inches apart. All should have a protective covering of dry 
straw placed around the base in autumn. In dry weather give plenty of 
water.

NEW SUPER GIANT HIBISCUS 
Blooms 10 to 12 inches in diameter. | 
When, many years ago, the Giant Hibiscus were introduced, they 
created quite a lot of comment. The New Super Giants in many in-tances 
Produce flowers which are 50% bigger or even more. A well grown plant 
with its immense flowers is quite a sight to behold. 
The varieties offered were all produced from se‘!ected plants noted for 
their size and freedom of bloom. Increase from divisions is slow but the 
results justify the extra effort. Give these plants ample room and grow 
them in full sunl’ght, watering freely.
