From primus, first, referring to 

 their early flowering. The Chi- 

 nese Primroses (Primula Si- 

 nensis) are fine for winter and 

 spring blooming ; they are free- 

 flowering, and especially valu- 

 able for cut-flowers or for house 

 and window culture; a cool 

 place suits them best. The seeds 

 are saved from the finest colors 

 and largest flowers. The seed 

 should be sown in light soil, but 

 for the final potting a richer soil 

 is necessary, consisting of two 

 parts loam to one each of well- 

 decayed manure and leaf-mold. 

 They require to be well venti- 

 lated, well watered and slightly 

 shaded throughout the summer. 

 The collections here offered 

 contain the finest varieties 

 grown. 



The Oenotheras are fine, free- 

 flowering plants, best for back- 

 grounds or shrubbery borders ; 

 CE. acaulis has large, shining 

 white flowers quite transparent. 

 CE. Drummondii is of rich sul- 

 phur color ; profuse flowering. 



The last two, known as Golden 

 Feather, are fine for edgings ; 

 No. 4237 makes a moss-like tuft. 



Ornamental Rhubarb. 



Grand evergreen shrubs. 



The Castor Oil Plants are free 

 growing, tender annuals ; very 

 ornamental, and quite tropical 

 in appearance when planted 

 singly on lawns; also much used 

 for centers of sub-tropical beds. 

 4277 is the handsomest and most 

 graceful Ricinus, with foliage 

 and stem nearly black. 



Ornamental in fruit. For green- 

 houses. 



California Tree Poppy. Fine flow- 

 ers, resembling a Poppy. 



{Hesperis.) Free blooming and 

 very sweet-scented. 



5 I [ {Lychnis cor onaria.) Free bloom- 

 5 j ing and exceedingly pretty. 

 5 J 



(Agrostemma.) Free - flowering 

 and easily grown.
