grown vunler the same treatment, is in 

 the order given, eonimeneing with Christ- 

 mas week. The old <louble Von Sion is 

 first, closely followed by Golden Spur, 

 Henry Irving, Princeps, Sir Watkin, 

 Poeticiis ornatus. Emperor, Kmpress and 

 Barrii ccnspicuus. Practically no other 

 variety is forced here by the thousand. 

 Possibly some growers will remark upon 

 the exclusion of Horsfieldii from this list, 

 but this variety is quite out of favor with 

 English growers and is seldom used, on 

 account of its almost certain liability to 

 the disastrous basal rot, and also on ac- 

 count of the soft, flimsy texture of the 

 bloom, the petals being almost transpar- 

 ent and so delicate as to be damaged by 

 the slightest rough usage. The variety 

 Empress has almost entirely superseded 

 Horsfiehlii, being more fobust in consti- 

 tution and taller and stouter in growth, 

 with blooms that have double the texture 

 and durability. B, J. 



PANSIES 



Scotch and English PANSIES are noted all the world over for 

 their excellence. We have unique selections. 



The flowers are large, superb in color and g^ratid in substance, 



and yearly selected and improved. 



We do not recommend the flimsy Trimardeau Pansies— size alone is not 

 beauty. 



Try a small packet of each of the following, and you will order 



largely another season : COVENT GARDEN SUPERB STRAIN 



andPRlZB ENGLISH EXHIBITION, each, $1.60 per dos. packets; 



$4.60 per os. 



These are our Noted Special Strains, but we also keep nearly every 

 other variety in commerce. 



TRY also our very special, carefully selected strains of Primula 

 Sinensis Fimbriata (all var., including the giant strains); Primula Stel- 

 lata, all varieties; Calceolatia and Cineraria, very best market strains; 

 Carnation, best and choicest stage and Marguerite varieties; Cyclamen 

 PersicuD, all varieties, including new color; Gloxinias, etc.

COLORADO ONIONS TO GO WEST 



It is reported from Cireeley, Colo., 

 that J. B. Agnew, of the Pacific Seed 

 Growers ' Co., and Russell Woldenberg, 

 of the Braslan Seed Growers' Co., have 

 been there recently, the latter as lately 

 as April 29, contracting for available 

 fields of onions now planted in the 



vicinity of Greeley. Weather conditions 

 at Greeley are said to have been fairly 

 seasonable this year and the prospect is 

 for a good crop of bulbs, such part of 

 which as the Californians have secured 

 to be shipped to the Santa Clara valley 

 for planting for the 1908 crop. 



It is well understood in the trade that
