Perfection. This is distinguished from all 



other sorts of Phlox Heynholdi by its very dwarf 

 and compact growth. The plants form small 

 sphere-shaped bushes, never exceeding four or 

 five inches in height, and are literally covered 

 with beautiful coppery-scarlet flowers, continu- 

 ing in bloom late into the fall. As it comes quite 

 true from seed it wll be well adapted for ribbon 

 lines, massing, or wherever a striking effect in 



flower beds is to be produced 50 



New I>arge Flowering. A new section, 



whose distinctive feature is the large size of the

 zling scarlet blooms 25 



PORTULACA. 



Beautiful and popular Hardy Annuals, of the easiest cul- 

 ture, luxuriating in an exposed sunny situation, and pro- 

 ducing throughout the summer their flowers of almost 

 every hue in the greatest profusion. The double Portu-

 COwn 15 



PRIMULA SINENSIS FIHERIATA. 



PRIMULA (Chinese Primrose.) 



Following the English practice, it is usually advised to sow 

 Primula seeds in July and August, but in our hot, dry 

 climate it is very difficult to have them germinate at 

 that season; so, in our own experience, we have found 

 that the best time to sow is in February, March or 

 April. Then sown, the seed germinates freely, and fine 

 plants can be had for winter flowering The great per- 

 fection to which Primulas have been brought renders 

 them in attractiveness and value scarcely equaled by 

 any class of plants. 

 Primula Sinensis Fimbria! a . Very choice mixed, 



from prize flowers. (See Cut) 50.
