most suitable soil being a sandy 

 loam. 4038 is called the "Tulip 

 Poppy," on account of the in- 

 tensity and brilliancy of its 

 flowers, resembling the scarlet 

 Dhc van Thol Tulip. 4050a is 

 of 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 eight have 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 alight, 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, 

 the 



; r P. Japonica is called 

 " Queen of Primroses." 



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 seed 

 is 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 manureandleaf-mould. 

 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. 



I The Oenotheras are fine, free- 

 \ flowering plants, best for back- 

 1 grounds or shrubbery borders ;
