SWISS FLORAL COMPANY SWISS FLORAL COMPANY 
course, various strains and degrees of quality but the 
greatest pleasure is in growing the finest known from 
the best European hybridizers. Therefore, we carry 
the finest only. A rich, loose soil with ample moist¬ 
ure, yet well drained, is essential to the greatest per¬ 
fection of flowers. During midsummer they become 
dormant and the fine foliage, almost like parsley, 
dries up only to reappear again in fall. We are offer¬ 
ing them in field-grown clumps only, in mixed colors, 
at $2.50 per dozen or three for $1.00. To ship by 
Parcel Post add 50 cents per dozen with each order. 
TIGRIDIA OR MEXICAN FLAME FLOWER 
This exceptionally fine and profusely flowering bulb 
is a gem for color brilliance during the whole sum¬ 
mer, so startling and unique in shape that it proves 
the greatest garden sensation wherever seen. We take 
pleasure in offering them this season at $1.50 per 
dozen in yellow, orange or scarlet colors. They re¬ 
quire no care any different from gladiolus bulbs. 
VIOLA FLORARIENSE 
This is Henry Correvon’s Viola from Geneva, Switzer¬ 
land, that has proven itself the longest flowering kind 
of all Violas ever tried here, and the only one with a 
tendency to bloom during the winter months in 
Portland. This makes it the most desirable kind for 
rockery planting, and its handsome lavender veined 
flowers are very beautiful and bright. Six young 
plants for $1.25. $2.00 per dozen. Strong clumps at 
30 cents each. 
VIOLA BOSNIACA 
The Bosnian Violets of very bright cheery pink color 
are so distinct from the everyday Violas that they 
arouse keen interest, and being handsome as well as 
continuous bloomers, they are great favorites for 
rockeries. Used in clusters of three they deserve to be 
seen in the best of rock plantings. Fine plants three 
for $1.00 postpaid. 
PRIMULA AURICULA 
For a handsome rockery plant, elegant in foliage as 
well as in flowers, these hardy alpine primroses are 
just a source of continuous joy and admiration. The 
colors are so unique and rich that words fail to de¬ 
scribe them, and the fragrance at times is superior to 
violets and also variable. Easily grown in partly 
shaded locations where the soil is well drained, they 
are fit for permanent borders or as specimens for 
rockery planting. They are very long lived. Mixed 
colors, flowering size, three for $1.00 or $2.50 per 
dozen. Larger size, $3.50 per dozen. 
PRIMULA MOOREANA 
This late season flowering Primula is of strange ap¬ 
pearance due to the way its flower stems are covered 
with a white powder which is even on the calyx of 
the rich blue flowers making a novel contrast. As it 
is a robust freely growing kind, most rockeries would 
be improved by a cluster of this new Primula. Flow¬ 
ering from August until frost makes it especially de¬ 
sirable, as it fills the rock garden with color when 
the flowers are scarce on common plants. Three for 
$1.00. $3.50 per dozen.
