PRIMULAS (Primrose) 



The Hardy Primroses are among the most beautiful and interesting 

 of our early spring flowers. Plant them in rich, well-drained soil in 

 the border or in a sheltered nook in the rockery; if possible, in a 

 half-shady place. 



JAPANESE PRIMROSES (P.sieboidi) 



These are not so well known as they deserve; they are of free growth, 

 with dark green foliage, and throw up in the late spring innumerable stems 

 of large flowers, varying in color from pure white to rich crimson. They 

 succeed under the same conditions as the common hardy Primroses, and 

 are also useful for forcing under glass, making beautiful pot plants. (See 

 cut.) 



We offer four distinct colors, viz. ; Pure White, Lilac, Rose and Crim- 

 son. 



25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. One each of the four colors for 85 cts. 



PYRETHRUM MYBRIDUM 



This grand old-fashioned Hardy Perennial is easy to grow in any good 

 garden soil where there is good drainage and full exposure to the sun. 

 They prefer to be left undisturbed for two or three years, and if given an 

 annual top dressing of well-rotted manure flower generously. Their main 

 season of blooming is in June, but if the first crop of flower-stems is re- 

 moved as soon as finished they will give a fair sprinkling of flowers during 

 the summer and autumn months. The fine fern -like foliage of the plants 



is attractive at all times. 

 Single=flowering. The plants which 

 we offer embrace all the colors from 

 deep red through the various shades of 

 rose to pure white. These can be 

 supplied in mixed colors only. 25 

 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00
