EMMA V. WHITE CO. 
Double Portulaca 
RAINBOW CORN 
An improved, fancy strain, as beautiful 
and decorative as the Dracaenas. In some 
the leaves are variegated, like those of the 
striped grass, in others there will be broad 
stripes of crimson,' yellow, white and other 
rainbow colors. Nothing like it for decora- 
tive purposes, either for the garden or for 
cutting where large effects are desired, or 
in the center of a tropical bed, or a screen 
against a fence, or a background in a bor- 
der. 4 feet. Pkt., 25 seeds, 5c. 
PORTULACA 
DOUBLE PORTULACA. Mixed. Low trail- 
ing annuals, with double flowers like charm- 
ing little roses. Many brilliant colors. Pkt., 
200 seeds, 8c; 1-16 oz., 30c. 
SINGLE PORTULACA. Mixed. Pretty to 
mass in a bed or on some sunny slope. 
Pkt., 400 seeds, 5c; V s oz., 10c. 
PERILLA 
A Coleus-like decorative plant, with orna- 
mental leaves, sometimes of bronzy purple, 
others of an extra deep reddish purple and 
many with frilled edges. Pretty for the 
border where tall effects are desired, or to 
edge a bed of Cannas or Castor Beans. 1V4 
feet. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c; % oz., 15c. 
SCARLET RUNNER 
Highly ornamental as well as useful, both 
in foliage and flower and as pretty a climber 
as many of its more aristocratic neighbors, 
and the beans are good for the table if one 
wishes. Pkt., 12 seeds, 5c; oz., 10c. 
WHITE RUNNER. Blossoms pure white. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c. 
SCHIZANTHUS 
(Butterfly Flower) 
It is a quick germinating annual and is 
soon in bloom after planting. Its flowers 
are airy and of the lighter shades of pinks, 
yellows and lavenders. It is good for bor- 
der work, and in front of tall flowers. Make 
good pot plants from seed if sown in the 
fall. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 15c. 
Single Portulaca 
POLYANTHA 
"BABY" ROSE 
Rosa Polyantha Multiflora Nana, or 
"Little Midget," or Baby Rose, is a 
charming hardy little plant about 10 
inches high, bearing clusters of minute 
roses only an inch across, double, semi- 
double or sometimes single. The many 
flowered clusters look like a mass of 
double crab-apple blossoms. We have 
taken pains to secure the best seeds and 
true to name. Not all the Rosa Poly- 
antha seed is of this dwarf, early-flower- 
ing variety. It blooms the first season, 
though not attaining perfection until the 
second year. Pkt., 35 seeds, 8c.
