NEMESIA STRUMOSA SUTTONII 
New Hybrids 
A beautiful annual of recent introduction 
which succeeds quite well in California. The 
plants grow about 1 foot high and produce 
large quantities of orchid-like blossoms in vari- 
ous shades of pink, rose, yellow, buff, orange 
and blue, beautifully marked and shaded. Pkt. 
25c. 
One of Payne's Royal Exhibition Pansies 
Payne's Royal Exhibition Pansy 
This is undoubtedly the most superb strain 
of Pansies ever offered on this coast. The 
plants are of vigorous growth, and are particu- 
larly free flowering. The blossoms are very 
large, and of fine, velvety texture, including all 
the richest shades, many of them exquisitely 
blotched, spotted and margined. Pkt. 25c; 
% oz. $1.00. 
Petunia, Payne's Giants of California. 
Ruffled and Fringed 
The Petunia is one of the most popular 
plants in California gardens. This superb 
giant strain I am offering produces immense 
flowers of great substance, often 4 or 5 inches in 
diameter, deep-throated and with the edge of 
the petals beautifully ruffled and fringed. They 
include all the richest colors and combinations 
of colors, many of them beautifully veined, 
mottled or striped. Pkt. 25c. 
Payne's Selected Giant Shirley Poppy 
The Shirley Poppy is probably the greatest 
favorite of all the many varieties of this very 
popular class of plants. For sowing broadcast 
in large beds where a display of color is re- 
quired in a short time, it has no equal; while 
for a profusion of flowers of graceful forms and 
delicate tints of coloring it is unrivaled by 
any other plant. The strain that I am offer- 
ing here was carefully selected from the very 
largest flowered plants, and is unsurpassed for 
quality and variety of colors. The flowers are 
of immense size, of the most delicate crepe- 
like texture, often beautifully fluted or crinkled, 
of every conceivable shade, from pure white 
flesh-color, pink, salmon, rose, carmine, scarlet 
to deep crimson; shaded and blended, some- 
times striped or margined. Pkt. 10c. 
Primula malacoides 
This valuable introduction from China has 
proved to be one of the most free-flowering 
species and especially valuable for pot culture. 
The flowers are of a delicate shade of lilac. 
Seed sown in August produces plants which 
flower throughout the winter months. Pkt. 25c. 
New Double Annual Poppy, Ryburgh Hybrids 
New Double Annual Poppy, 
Ryburgh Hybrids 
This splendid new strain of annual poppy 
produces plants of bushy habit, carrying

ing shades of flesh, salmon, orange, pink, rose 
and carmine. The flowers are double and 
semi-double and last well when cut. Pkt. 25c.
