DWARF MORNING GLORY. 



Convolvuhts Minor Orandijlura. 

 The wonder of the age. A winter house blooming variety. After 

 years of skillful fertilizing I place before the public this beauty of 

 the floral world. The seed may be started any time during the 

 winter; when plants are large enough transplant them in four 

 inch jars or boxes and give same treatment as you would a Gera- 

 nium. The plant grows in a showy, stocky, trailing manner and 

 bears an immense quantity of richly colored flowers which resem- 

 ble its near relative, our favorite Climbing Morning Glory. Extra 

 mixed, pkt. 2.5 s eeds 5c.

PRIMULA SINENSIS. 



Chinese Primrose. 



Many persons seem to think 

 Primulas are successfully propa- 

 gated only in a greenhouse, hence 

 we find amateurs often reluctant 

 to attempt their culture. They 

 are unequaled as winter bloomers 

 and easily grown if the right con- 

 ditions are observed, and .give a 

 succession of flowers throughout 

 the season, and are prized for 

 both tLeir beauty and their deli- 

 cate fragrance. Superfine mixed.

SMILAX. 



This elegant vine is very easily 

 grown from seed, which, though 

 slow to germinate, is sure to 

 grow. Not only a fine window 

 vine, but exceedingly fine for out- 

 door planting vyherever a small 

 growing vine is wanted. In the 

 open ground it grows luxuriantly, 

 furnishing great quantities of its 

 daintv, glossy-green spi-ays that 

 are e^.^' ' - ^ to use in cut-flower 

 work, and remams fi-esh and 

 green until after early frosts. In 

 the house it requires good light 

 and freedom from dust. The 

 feathery little blooms are deli- 

 cately fragrant, but its chief 

 merit is its exquisitely beautiful 

 foliage. Tender perennial ; grows 

 five to ten feat high. Pkt. 50
