THE AUSTRALIAN PEA VINE. This climber, though well- 
known in California, is not listed in any of the eastern catalogues. It has 
great powers of endurance, standing drought and heat with impunity, and 
should be hardy in the east. It is invaluable where rapid growth and an 
impenetrable screen are desired. The seeds germinate readily, and the 
plants grow very rapidly, beginning to bloom when quite young; the foliage 
is very pretty and graceful; the flowers are pea-shaped, the buds pink, when 
full blown, the flowers are pink shaded mauve; the plant is covered with 
blossoms in California, at all times. 10c pkt. 
Romneya or ‘“‘Matilija Poppy.’’ The great California Tree Poppy. 
One of the grandest of California natiye plants, with beautiful pure white 
crinkled petals, and a mass of elegant yellow stamens. The flowers measure 
5 to 6 inches across. It is very difficult to propagate, either from roots or 
seeds; but once started grows without care. It is rarely found in any nurs- 
ery. Very slow to germinate. 10c pkt. 
ROSES. 
A Rare Mixture of Many Classes and Varieties. 
Any one can grow roses from seed. The tea rose will bloom when only a 
few inches high, and will give most beautiful varieties. The seeds are slow 
to germinate, but when once started will make splendid plants in one season, 
Try for a few varieties. All sorts mixed. 10c pkt. 
*All marked thus are Giant Flowering varieties.
