Primula Forbesi or Baby Prim- 
t*rtef> This is a new and distinct variety and one of 
ruse jije most wonderfully prolific bloomers we have 
ever grown. The plant begins to blossom when it is not 
over two inches in height and flowers continuously 
throughout the entire year. The flowers are of medium 
size, pinkish white, borne on long stems and remain fresh 
a long time after being cut and placed in water. It is 
valuable for bouquets and design work. The plant Is of 
dwarf compact growth, the foliage clean and free from 
disease and insects. We consider it one of the most valu- 
able plants of recent introduction . 20c each, or 3 for

ftcxt-^rtiitm risn-c This new variety is the introduction to the 
VJerdlllUlll I Ictl floral world of a new class of Geraniums, of 
which Mars and America are the only representatives; other colors will 
doubtless be introduced in the near future. The immense iK)pularity which 
Mars has attained tlie past season is the best evidence of its great merit. It is of dwarf, coin- 
pact growth, the dwarf est variety introduced to date, forming strong, stocky plants with 
great drouth resisting qualities and is the most prolific bloomer ever seen. The foliage is dark 
green with bronze zones and during the summer is completely Bmotliere<l in a mass of Moom. 
The flowers are single, deep rose salmon, becoming di^ejier at the center and shading to almost 
pure white at the outer edg<> of the petal. These are borne in large trusses set well above the 
foliage on strong stems. For bedding on the lawn this plant is invaluable, while for pot 
culture it is the ideal variety, bloasoming fretily and continuously. 15c each, $1.50 per doz.

seedling from Mars which has gained wonderful i>opularity during the past two years. It 
is of stronger growth and has larger foliage than the parent, but retains the same fiorifer- 
ou-sness and dwarf habit peculiar to that variety. On opening, the flowers are white vntn 
salmon center, changing to various shades of salmon and rose; finally, wlien fully open, to 
deep pure rose. As all colors appear on the same truss at one time, the effect is very novel.

variety from India, of a slen- 
der, graceful, climbing habit,

waxy wliitencss, witli a deli-

profusion. Fine for either 
pot or open ground culture.
