CHINESE 



SINENSIS, 



PRIMROSE. 



(See Illustration in Colors on Back Cover.) 



Many persons seem to think Primulas are successfully propagated only 

 In a green-house, hence we find amateurs often reluctant to attempt 

 their culture. They are unequalled as winter bloomers, easily grown, if 

 the right conditions are observed; and give a succession of flowers 

 througnout the season, and are prized for both their beauty and their 

 delicate fragrance. Single fringed mixed, pl£t., 30 seeds, 8 cents. 



PRIMULA, DOUBLC. 



Best mixed of all colors. Pkt., 30 seeds, 10 cents. 



Double Portulaca. 



PORTULACA, Double Flowered. 



One of the most showy and beautiful annuals, 

 with abundant, highly colored flowers. For bas- 

 kets, beds, masses or edging it is invaluable. The 

 plant is dwarf and trailing; about six inches high. 

 It requires scarcely any water and succeeds best in 

 warm, sandy soil. 



Note— Portulaca cannot always be depended upon 

 to come DOUBLE, about 60 to TO per cent, being a fair 

 average of double flowtrs. The seed I offer has 

 been saved with extra care from the finest colors
