General Observations. 



(Dianthus). Beautiful and orna- 

 mental genus; for beauty and 

 sweetness contains some of the 

 most prized flowers we possess. 

 The leaves of the hardy peren- 

 nials are green all winter. 

 Many can be grown in pots and 

 kept in the house. No garden 

 should be without some of the 

 varieties of the Dianthus fam- 

 ily, which for color and fra- 

 grance cannot be surpassed. 

 Pinks succeed well in any fairly 

 rich soil, but when the produc- 

 tion of large flowers is aimed at, 

 a bed of turfy loam, leaf-mould 

 and well decomposed manure 

 should be specially prepared 

 for them. 



(Pale green, wavy leaves; fra- 

 I grant flowers. 



California Poppy. 



[ Large Chinese Bell flower; very 

 ) fine flowering plants. 



Curious and pretty. 



See Jacob's Ladder, No. 3308. 



(Primula.) Fine varieties. 

 From named varieties. 



(Papaver.) Very showy and free 

 flowering. For beds or bor- 

 ders, with a background of 

 green, they are beautiful; ad- 

 mirable for naturalizing in 

 woody spots; they are also fine 

 for cut-flower use. Seed should 

 be kept from forming to secure 

 continuous flowering. They 

 are easily cultivated, the most 

 suitable soil being asandy loam. 

 4037a is a magnificent variety 

 of recent introduction, unsur- 

 passed for beauty of coloring 

 and gracefulness of form. 4u:-!7h 

 is a superb, large, single white 

 variety, gro win g about three 

 feet high; very valuable for 

 cut-flowers. 40*38 is called the 

 44 Tulip Poppy" on accoi.nt of 

 the intensity and brilliancy of 

 its flowers, resembling the scar- 

 let Due Van Thol Tulips. 4050 

 is of very dwarf, compact and 

 robust habit and is brilliantly 

 variegated in scarlet and white 



These cannot be rivaled for the 

 brilliancy and delicacy of their 

 colors, and are very effective in 

 beds, edgings or rock work. 

 The last seven have double 

 ble flowers, and are very beau- 

 tiful, many of them resembling
