OXALIS TROPyEOLOIDES. 



An annual variety of Oxalis, bearing a 

 profusion of lovely deep vellow flowers, 

 blossoming from June to'September. It 

 is much prized on account of its foliage, 

 the leaves being a rich purplish brown, 

 which makes it so desirable for edgings. 

 It is the variety so often appearing in our 

 parks, and is as valuable as those grown 

 from bulbs. Pretty also for rock-work, bas- 

 kets, vases, or to mass in a bed. It will 

 give abundant satisfaction and cost but 

 little to make the experiment if you have 

 not before tried it. Pkt., -4 cts.

 word for your seeds and plants." Maeelle E. Sausbvbt.

PLATYCODON Wahlenbergia). 



The Platycodon seems to be not generally known, yet it is an aquisition 

 to the perennial bed that no one who has had it would wish to be without. 

 It is a hardy perennial, blooming the tirst year from seed, and will live in 

 the ground over winter and bloom profusely year after year. Its buds art- 

 very curious, the petals being joined at their edges forming a perfect puff 

 ball, whose development it is interesting to watch. The flowers are large 

 and star-like, a rich deep blue or pure white in color, with delicate veinings 

 or pencilings on each petal. They measure two or three inches across and 

 are splendid for cutting. The plant is shrubby in habit, very hardy and 

 grows from three to four feet high. Pkt., 5 cts.
