HARDY GIANT YELLOW POPPY. 



(Me'conopsis Integrifolia.) 



A magnificent new poppy, producing freely when established immense 

 flowers 6 to 9 inches across, of pure rich yellow, resembling in shape the large 

 oriental poppies. It thrives best in cold locations Pkt. 75c. 



NEW GIANT ORIENTAL POPPIES. 



Among hardy perennials these hold an unrivaled position for gorgeous 

 effectiveness in gardens and hardy borders; height, 2 to 3 feet; flowers im- 

 mense, often 6 inches across. Colors: salmon, fiery-scarlet, rose, lilac and 

 copper color, pink-blotched purple, blood-red blotched black, orange, etc.

Although hardy perennials, these Poppies bloom the first season, from 

 spring-sown seed. The fragrant, elegant, crushed satin-like flowers are pro- 

 duced in never-ceasing succession from the beginning of June to October.

New Hardy Blue Primrose. 



(Primula Acaulis Coerulea.) 



A beautiful blue flowered type of the popular old English yellow primrose. 

 Equally as hardy, and a fitting companion for naturalizing in wild, partially 

 shaded nooks among shrubs or for planting either in turf or the herbaceous 

 border Pkt. .25 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



CHINESE GIANT FRINGED PRIMROSES. 



Chinese Primroses are among our finest winter and spring blooming pot 

 plants; of healthy, sturdy growth, 8 to 12 inches high, and free from insects; 

 while they produce for weeks large trusses of flowers, which, in our new Giant 

 varieties, average from 4J to 6 inches in circumference.

Primula Obconica. 



Large Fringed Hybrids. 



These new, large-flowering hybrid ever-flowering Primroses are great im- 

 provements, producing trusses of large fringed-edge flowers nearly double the 

 size of the older type and containing several colors, including lavender, blush- 

 pink, white, rose, etc.; favorite pot plants for house and conservatory culture 

 on account of the wonderful blooming qualities, flowering nearly the year through.

New Giant Star Primroses. 



(Primula Stellata Hybrida Gigantea.) 



This distinct and beautiful type should be better known, for it is an un- 

 rivaled winter and spring flowering pot plant and for table decoration unique 

 and effective. The attractive dark foliage on purple stems makes a striking 

 contrast to the innumerable star-shaped flowers bonne in graceful pyramidal 

 clusters. The flowers of this new type are much larger than the old type 

 stellatas and of greater substance.

Ricinus or Castor Oil Plant. 



Noble foliage plants of luxuriant and rapid growth, attaining a height of 

 from 5 to 10 feet, producing large palm-like leaves about 3 feet across, of majes- 

 tic sub-tropical effect; grown either as specimens or in groups. (See cut.) 

 Ricinus Fanormitanus. A cross between Ricinus Cambodgensis and Zanzi- 

 . bariensis gave birth to this splendid hybrid, which inherits its color from the 

 former, and from the latter its gigantic dimensions. Thus the stem and 

 stalks at an early age are covered with a blue bloom, becoming later on quite 

 dark, while the leaves measure 2\ to 3 feet in diameter. The plant has a 

 noble, upright habit and when fully developed forms a huge symmetrical bush 

 of wonderfully ornamental aspect; it will doubtless play an important part 

 for planting in isolated positions on lawns and for other decorative purposes 



where large specimen plants are required Pkt. 15 



Bismarkiana. A new hybrid, and one of the most decorative of ornamental 

 foliage plants; vigorous grower; large dark green leaves tinged with metal- 

 lic bronze and ribbed purple; stalk and leaf stems almost black, ribbed 

 silvery-white Pkt. . 10 



{For our complete list of Ricinus, see page 116.) 



NEW CROSS-BRED FRENCH ROSE SEED. 



These new hybrids — the originator claims — germinate easily from seed, the 

 plants growing vigorously, and commence flowering in 6 months' time; the fol- 

 lowing year, the plants, being larger, yield a greater quantity of flowers; but 

 their prime is not reached until the third season, when they bloom in astonishing 

 prodigality all summer long and continue to do so thereafter for years. The 

 plants form robust bushes, and are hardy, with slight protection, in cold climates; 

 about 80 per cent, of them produce large double flowers of all colors and shades 

 known in Roses, excepting yellow; they are, moreover, delightfully fragrant. 

 Suitable either for garden or pot culture Pkt. .25
