REDUCED IN SIZE. 
Primrose, “Golden Cluster.” 
Photographed Prom Nature and Copyrighted by J. C. &• Co. 
This is the neatest and dwarfest of Quilled Asters, height 9 to 12 inches, 
profuse in blossom, colour crimson-purple, most excellent as a pot plant or 
in dwarf beds or clumps. It is much more effective in appearance than 
from description. 
No. 1337. Price, in sealed packets, Is. and 2s. 6d. each. 
This magnificent selection from our own unparalleled strain, forms beyond dispute 
one of the most delightful of spring bedding plants. As single plants or in clumps and 
masses most grandly effective, and for general delicate beauty, unsurpassed by any other 
spring flower. 
No. 995. Price, in sealed packets Is. and 2s. 6d. each. 
Physalis Fr^nCllGtl , Chinese Lantern Plant. — This is a new variety from Japan of the old Winter Cherry Physalis Alkekengi. Grows 
from I to 2 feet high, erect, finely formed foliage which sets off the brilliant-coloured seed pods to great advantage. The pods are the most striking feature of the 
plant, about 2 inches in diameter, shining orange-red, enclosing an edible cherry-like fruit used as a preserve. This plant is peculiarly valuable for all sorts of 
decorative work. 
No. 956. Price, in sealed packets, Is. each. 
PhlOX nana COlll pacta CCGFUlGa. — A delightful new colour in this interesting and beautiful class of plants. A most profuse bloomer and 
continues in bloom for months. It is equally adapted with the other varieties for dwarf or miniature bedding or for pot work for conservatory. 
No. 1338. Price, in sealed packets, Is. each. 
Primrose, “New Blue.’ — We are somewhat surprised that this extraordinary novelty has not met with a phenomenal reception as it is the realization 
of the hope of years. Perhaps the idea of a Blue Primrose appears incredible, but here is the fact, and all lovers of hardy plants should avail themselves of the opportunity 
of obtaining a really valuable acquisition. 
No. 994. Price, in sealed packets, Is. 6d. and 2s. 6d. each. 
Single Dahlia, “New Perfection.’ — The varieties of single Dahlia have held for a long time a high position in popular esteem, and 
we think this new selection merits a warm welcome. The general form and habit of the flowers are similar to the older kinds, but there is a great developement in the 
size of the blossoms, often exceeding 6 inches in diameter. The brilliant effect of these in masses can be conceived. For mixed borders in large gardens or as individual 
specimens they are much to be desired. 
No. 1339. Price, in sealed packets, Is. and 2s. 6d. each. 
Heartsease (Pansy), “President Carnot.’ — This is one of the most strikingly distinct Pansies ever brought out. Colour, bright 
purple-blue, with a margin of pure white round each petal. It will undoubtedly prove a great success as a bedding variety either alone or mixed with Variegated 
Geranium, &c. 
No. 623. Price, in sealed packets, Is. and 2s. 6d. each. 
“ I was very pleased with the quality of your seeds last year, and I was successful 
in taking 14 first prizes and 2 second prizes at our Enfield Show.” 
Mr. H. Guymer, Enfield. 
“ Your seeds give every satisfaction to the gardeners, ourselves, and visitors.” 
T. Bennett Goldret, Esq., Goodnestone Park.
