Primula (Primrose — Mixed) 
This is one of the most charming winter flowering house plants, and 
one that is entirely free from insect pests. Our seed has been specially 
grown for us by the most celebrated English Primula specialists. The 
flowers are remarkable, not only for size, beauty and brilliancy of the 
colors, but for the great substances of the petals.

Sweet Peas (Spencer Mixed) 
A comparatively new class of Sweet Peas that is rapidly becoming 
prominent for winter flowering indoors. The flowers are large, of the 
same form as the Spencers and are beautifully waved or trilled. They 
remain in bloom for a much longer time than the Early Flowering Gran- 
diflora sorts. When planted out of doors they will commence blooming a 
month or more earlier than the later flowering varieties planted at the 
same time.

One of the finest bedding plants and also suitable for borders, with

throughout the summer. Seeds may be sown in March or April indoors 
and planted out when weather permits; succeeding well in any good 
garden soil.

Scarlet Sage (Salvia) 
Very ornamental plants, for summer and autumn flowering; bloom in 
spikes, and continuing to bloom in the open ground until hard frost, 
forming compact bushes, which are literally ablaze with brilliant flowers. 
While tender perennials, they bloom like annuals the first season from 
seed. The plants may be started in a box in the house, or in the hot-bed, 
and when the weather becomes warm transplant in the garden. May be 
used as a hedge with striking effect.
