The HORNED POPPY is Glaucium, and in Glaucium flavum tricolor I found one 
of the very best things that I have had in years. The foliage is bright, shining and pretty; 
this bush is 2 feet high and as far through, bears a large number of orange-scarlet flow- 
ers 4 inches across, which have four black spots at the center. It flowers for months 
and blooms even with nightly frosts. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
POTENTILLA, Miss Willmott. See Novelties. 
PRIMROSES. Of the true Primroses, the Polyanthus Primroses, doubtless derived 
from the English Cowslip, are far and away the best for the ordinary garden and as 
now developed give a wonderful variety of fine colors. In California they often begin 
to flower in late fall and are at their best in February, and are well worth the while of 
every flower-lover. Primroses do best in shade, and are excellent for the shaded side 
of the house. After flowering the foliage tends to brown and, for this reason, they are 
not good for edgings. Grouped among other plants, they are satisfactory. PL, October 
to March. Divide every two or three years in early fall; any loam will do. Prop., 
All at 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.

PYRETHRUM roseum grows a 
foot or more in height, with very 
many fine flowers on long stems, 
most excellent for cutting. The 
flowers are both single and double 
in shades of white, pink and red 
to deep crimson; the flowering 
season is long; an ordinary loam 
cither in sun or light shade suits it 
well. Heavy plants in a fine mix- 
ture of all colors, single and dou- 
ble, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Good plants of same, 15 cts. each, 
$1.50 per doz. 
RANUNCULUS repens fl.-pl. 
A neat plant which by runners 
spreads to make colonies. The 
very double flowers are produced 
in spring and early summer, and 
are the original Double Butter- 
cups. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
RUBUS xanthocarpus is a Yel- 
low Raspberry, never over 4 inches 
high, which forms colonies by 
underground runners. The flow- 
ers are white and pretty, and the 
berries bright yellow. Easily 
grown. 25 cts. each.
