HARDY PERENNIAL POPPIES 
Oriental Poppies should be sown in early spring 
in the open ground as soon as it is fit to work. 
The plants disappear during July or August, ap- 
pearing again as soon as the weather gets cool. 
When this fall growth starts is the time they 
should be transplanted to their permanent flow- 
ering quarters. It is well to mark the places 
they are planted with a stake to insure the roots 
against disturbance during their annual resting 
period. 
Among hardy perennials these hold an unriv- 
aled position for gorgeous effectiveness in gardens 
and hardy borders; height, 2 to 3 feet; flowers 
immense, often 6 inches or more across. They 
are also grand, cut in bud state, for vases.

PRIMROSE 
OBCONICA GRANDIFLORA. These "Ever- 
flowering Primroses” are favorite pot plants for 
house and conservatory. The Chinese Primroses 
will have to look to their laurels, for this new 
giant Obconica race is looming up in size of 
flowers, many of them measuring 1% inches 
across, equalling in dimensions those of their 
Chinese rivals, with the added merit of being 
easier grown and having a longer duration of 
bloom. Several colors in mixture, white, crimson, 
rose, violet, lilac, pink-eyed sorts, etc. Pkt., 25c.

beautiful Chinese Fringed Primroses and Obconica 
varieties are indispensable for winter or spring 
decorations in the home or conservatory. They 
are one of the most important winter blooming 
pot plants. The seed we offer is of the highest 
merit, and has, as usual, been saved from the best 
strains of English and continental growth. Flor- 
ists and others report that they have never seen 
finer flowers than those produced from our seed. 
Sow in March, April or May. The hardy varieties 
are also deserving of wide circulation.

ple; pea-shaped blossoms towards the close of
