SELECT HARDY PLANTS. 143 HELIANTHUS. Helianthus Multiflorus (Double Hardy Sunflower). One of the most useful perennial plants in cultivation. It is perfectly hardy and pro- duces its large double Dahlia-like golden yellow flowers iu great profusion the entire summer and fall. 15c. each; $ per doz. Helianthus Maximilliana. A most graceful single-flowered variety, growing from 5 to 7 feet high, continuing in bloom very late in the season. The flowers are produced in long, graceful sprays, which make it invaluable for cutting pur- poses. 15 cts. each; § per doz. Helianthus flollis. Large, lemon-yellow, single flowers, pro- duced early in the fall; a most distinct, and one of the best native species. 25 cts. each ; § per doz. Helianthus Rigidus. One of the most desirable of our native varieties, beginning to bloom early in July and continuing until late in fall; flowers single, golden yellow, with dark centre. 15 cts. each; § per doz. HYPERICUM MOSERIANUH. We take pleasure in calling attention to this beautiful plant, which has been universally admired and is acknowledged to be one of the very best herbaceous plants of recent introduction. The habit of the plant is free and graceful; it produces long slender, much-branched stems, leafy to the base and all drooping toward the ends, apparently from the weight of the flowers and buds, although the flow- ers face, so that none of their beauty is lost. It is marvellously free flowering, of large size, measuring from 2 to 2 2 inches in diameter; in color, a rich gold- en yellow, which is rendered still more effective by the numerous yellow stamens and crimson anthers,and blooms continuously the entire season. It is perfe hardy, forming a bush about 3 feet high. Strong plants, 15 cts. each; § per dozen. Helianthus Mu
