HARDY PERENNIAL VARIETIES. 
Too much cannot be said of this class of Poppies, as for 
general effectiveness and brilliancy of display they are une- 
qualled. 
Sunbeam Poppies, '^'^"''•^ri'" colour they resemble 
' ' the well-known Iceland Poppy, but 
in length and strength of stem, size of flower, robust habit, 
they are .so far in advance as to justify their being considered 
a new type. Flowering from May to October makes them an 
ideal plant either for the Hardy Border or Bedding work, while 
for Out flower purposes we predict they will, when known, be 
used as universally as the Sweet Pea was some years ago.

PRIMULA — Chinese Primrose 
Sow from March to June for succession. Seeds are slow in 
germinating. When sowing press the seeds well into the soil, 
as they are apt to rise to the surface, especially if carelessly 
watered. Prick off thinly into boxes, and allow them to remain 
until of good size. Keep well exposed to the light to promote 
a sturdy growth. From fli st to last avoid using a close or heavy 
soil: or sliifting them until the pots are well fllled with roots 
Oyerpotting and over-watering are the main causes of failure 
with this class of plant.
