SPRING CATALOGUE OF SEEDS, BULBS AND PLANTS FOR 1901. 
gotiqtiet Petiiqias. 
We have seen no new flower in a long time that has 
pleased us so much as these beautiful dwarf Petunias. They 
are very hardy and strong, but the plants are dwarf, very 
bushy and compact, producing their bright blossoms in such 
wonderful profusion that each plant looks like a perfect 
bouquet set in the ground. As a pot plant they are also very 
fine, and bloom incessantly both summer and winter. For 
groups, beds, borders, single specimens, or for pots, they are 
perfectly superb. Per pkt.

The Portulaca will stand more abuse , than almost any 
other flower. They do not like deep shade, or wet, damp soil, 
but in any other situation they only ask the sowing; they 
will take care of themselves afterwards. The dryer the 
weather and the hotter the sun, the more they flourish, car¬ 
peting the ground with their mat of succulent foliage, that 
during the fore part of the day is almost hidden by clouds of 
gay blossoms in every color of the rainbow. Fine for border¬ 
ing walks, rock work and bedding. Beautiful in ribbon beds, 
and they can be transplanted even in full bloom. Per pkt.
