Primrose (Primula) 
11 
SIS 
One of the most desirable of house plants. They will bloom all 
winter and then can be transplanted out-doors where they will bloom 
all summer. They are perennial but for best results the new seed 
should be sown each year. The young plants should be protected 
from frost, damp, and cutting winds but should not be forced. Height, 
9 inches,

Pyrethrum. 
Schizanthus 
A beautiful annual that 
should be in every gar- 
den. The flowers are so 
dainty that this is often 
called the Butterfly Flow- 
er. They come into bloom 
very quickly and are 
splendid for borders, gar- 
dens, and also for cut 
flowers. Don't let an- 
other season go by with- 
out trying this beautiful 
flower. Height 18 inches.

■ lice, cabbage worms and other insects. It is not poisonous and should be 
'diluted with ten times its bulk of flour before being applied. Height, one 
foot. Pkt., 10c.

Salpiglossis 
Follow our suggestion 
and plant a packet of 
Salpiglossis or the "Or- 
chid of the Hardy An- 
nuals" as it is sometimes 
called. The flower resem- 
bles the petunia in shape, 
comes in the greatest va- 
riety of colors, and each 
flower is veined with a 
glint of gold. Fine for 
bouquets. Hardy annual, 
height 2 feet. Pkt., 10c. 
Salvia Splendens 
The brightest and most 
popular of all bedding 
plants. The bright red 
flowers make a veritable 
blaze of color in the fall. 
Sow the seed in the house 
early or out-doors about 
Mav first. Height about 
2 to 2% feet. Pkt., 10c. 
Sensitive Plant 
(Mimosa Pudica) 
One of the few plants 
sensitive to the touch. 
When the leaves are 
touched they immediately 
droop or fold together. 
The plants are about IV2 
feet high and bear pink- Salpiglossis. 
ish-white flowers. A very interesting plant. Annual. Pkt., 10c. 
SILENE ARMERIA 
(See Catchfly.) 
Smilax (Myrsiphyllum Asparagoides) 
Used by all florists in wreaths, with cut-flowers, and for table decora- 
tions. A beautiful climbing plant with graceful foliage. Can be 
grown in-doors and when trained on a wire or trellis makes a very 
ornamental plant. Tender annual. Pkt., 10c. 
Stokesia Cyania (Corn Flower Aster) 
We recommend this as one of the best among the hardy perennials. 
The plants grow to a height of about 20 inches and flower freely from 
early July until frost. The flowers resemble the Corn-Flower in shape 
but are much larger and of a beautiful lavender-blue color. Stokesia 
should be in every hardy garden or hardy border. The flowers are 
beautiful in bouquets. Pkt., 10c. 
FROM HONDURAS. 
Personally I should like always whenever you are issuing new catalogs to send 
me one, as I am perfectly satisfied with your seeds and aim to order from your 
firm all the while. J. F. DUNN.
