HENRY A. DREER, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Primula Veris Superba. 



(New Giant Hardy Primrose. ) 



In size of flower, fully three times as large as any other hardy 

 Primrose, the average size of the flower being over one inch, and we 

 have seen them frequently measuring over two inches, with trusses of 

 bloom 6 inches in diameter. It is perfectly hardy, grows from 10 to 12 

 inches high, and begins to flower earlier and continues in bloom 

 longer than any other Primrose. This alone is sufficient to insure its 

 popularity as a plant for the garden ; but its greatest merit consists in 

 the fact that it is not only one of the easiest plants to force, but a plant 

 that will sell on sight when brought into flower during the early 

 spring months, and especially so when grown as an Easter plant. 



Strong plants 75 cts. per doz.; $6.00 p er I00 



Primula Cortusoides Sieboldi. 



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

 vigorous growth, and can be flowered in pots in early spring, and 

 respond quickly to forcing when placed in a temperature of 50 

 degrees, forming pretty pot plants in a short time, making excellent 

 window plants which meet with ready sale when in bloom.

Romneya Coulteri. 



(California Tree, or Matilija Poppy. ) 



While hardy as far north as Philadelphia, this must be planted in a 

 well-drained, sheltered position. The flowers are white, six inches 

 and over in diameter, and of a peculiarly delicate texture, the petals 

 somewhat transparent, yet enduring in a good state for several days. 

 Their fragrance is delicate, somewhat like that of a magnolia. Strong 

 plants 50 cents each.
