of the intensity and brilliancy 

 of its flowers, resembling the 

 scarlet Due van Thol Tulips. 

 4050 is of compact and robust 

 habit, and is brilliantly varie- 

 gated 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 haye double 

 flowers, and are very beautiful, 

 many of them resembling min- 

 iature roses. The seed of these 

 always contains many single 

 flowers, which bloom earlier 

 than the double ones, and may 

 in this way all be pulled out be- 

 fore the double ones come into 

 flower. Portulacas bloom best 

 in a light, sandy soil. They will 

 not germinate till hot weather 

 sets in, and seed should there- 

 fore be sown late. 



Showy and hardy border plants. 



) These are the Hardy Primroses. 



P. Japonica is called the "Queen 

 \ of Primroses." 4146 is a most 

 I beautiful large-flowered Rocky 

 J Mountain variety. 



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 valua- 

 ble 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 con- 

 tain the finest varieties grown. 



The Oenotheras are fine, free- 

 flowering plants, best for back- 

 grounds or shrubbery borders ; 

 <2T acaulis has large, shining 

 white flowers, quite transparent. 

 CE. Drummondii is of rich sul- 

 phur color ; profuse flowering.
