THREE HANDSOME HELENIEMS. (Sneeze-worts.) Riverton Gem. A variety that originated with us. Of strong growth, 2\ to 3 feet high.

Another variety which originated with us, and which is entirely distinct, the flowers being of a rich lemon-yellow, with a large cone of purplish-black, the two colors forming a most pleasing combination. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, attaining a height of 3 to 4 feet, and a most profuse bloomer. Autumnale Rubrum. Another splendid variety, the flowers of which are a bright terra-cotta throughout without suffusion of any other color. Very effective; 4 to 4 \ feet. 25 cts. each; $ per doz, HEMEROCAEEIS AND HOLLYHOCKS. We feature these two fine old-fashioned hardy plants this season, offering a very select list of both.
