FIVE NEW VARIETIES FOR 1907 



Vick*s Sunset. Companion to Day- 

 break and Purity ; in color a delicate pink 

 shading to a deep rich pink in center. Pro- 

 fuse bloomer. Price per packet, 25c; 2 

 packets, 40c. 



Vick's Upright. Long, graceful 

 stems branch out at the ground and grow 

 directly upward. Flowers are symmetrical, 

 double and full to the center. Splendid for 

 cutting. Especially valuable for shipping. 

 Price per packet, 25c; 2 packets, 40c. 



Vick's Royal Purple. An offshoot 

 from the Branching. Unlike its parent, it 

 sends out stems close to the ground. A 

 medium early variety but lasting until late 

 in fall. Nearly every stem produces speci- 

 men flowers. Price per packet, 20c; 2 

 packets, 35c. 



Vick's Branching Rosy Carmine. 

 A new color in the Branching class. Lead- 

 ing florists pronounce it a shade which will 

 be popular with the trade. Price per pack- 

 et, 25c; 2 packets, 40c. 



Vick's Cardinal. The best bedding 

 Aster ever introduced. A good one for cut- 

 ting. With its profusion of flowers and bril- 

 liant coloring it makes a handsome showing. 

 Price per packet, 25c; 2 packets, 40c.

PRIMULA KEWENSIS 



See Fix)EiSTS' Review, Boston report, 

 page 1099, February 28. 



This charming addition to our greenhouse 

 Primroses originated at the Royal Gardens, 

 Kew, as an accidental cross between the 

 small, bright-flowered Himalayan species, 

 P. floribunda, and the sweet-scented P. verti- 

 cillata, a native of Arabia. The plant is a 

 strong grower, with bright green leaves, 

 and numerous erect flowerscapes, 10 to 18 

 inches in height, producing fiowers in whorls 

 at intervals along their whole length. The 

 flowers are fragrant, bright yellow in color, 

 with a slender tube and spreading limb, 

 nearly an inch in diameter. As a winter- 

 flowering decorative plant it is an acquisi- 

 tion; its floriferousness when in a very small 

 state is remarkable. Per pkt., $1.00.
