POLYANTHUS 
Primula elatior 
The visitor to any of the famous gar¬ 
dens of England in May-time is greatly 
impressed with the manner in which 
this beautiful Primrose is used and the 
gorgeous display the better varieties 
present. Many of the larger gardens 
use them to intersperse between May¬ 
flowering tulips in their bulb-gardens, 
but they are best seen to advantage in 
borders or in beds. The strain we are 
offering is of strong, sturdy habit, and 
bears immense trusses of large flowers 
on strong stems 10 inches in length. 
The colors vary from pure white to rich 
wallflower-red. Seed is usually sown in 
early summer, in a frame, and the 
plants transplanted to the garden in the 
autumn. They require slight protection 
over winter. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1,

PORTULACA Sun 
Plant 
One of our finest annual plants, of 
easy culture, thriving best in a rather 
rich, light loam or sandy soil, and luxu¬ 
riating in an exposed sunny situation. Portulaca 
The flowers are of the richest colors and 
are produced throughout the summer in great profusion. Fine for massing in beds, edgings on 
rockwork, and frequently used to sow broadcast over sunny banks, etc. In any case, it is well to 
mix the seed with three or four times its bulk of dry sand or soil, which permits of even and easy 
distribution. Height 6 inches.
