New Chinese Primula 
Primula sinensis fimbriata 
DAZZLER. This new type of P. sinensis fimbriata is one of the 
most vivid of all flowers for growth in the greenhouse; its color is 
the flaming orange-red of sunset. It is very free flowering, often 
showing as many as twenty of the fringed blooms on a single plant 
at one time. Unlike many of the older sorts, which close their 
flowers as soon as they are fully developed, Dazzler holds its 
blossoms for a long period, sometimes flowering profusely for a 
month or more. Trade Pkt. 75 cts., 3 pkts. $2. 
Giant Polyanthus 
The visitor to any of the famous gardens of England in Maytime 
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 
ho inches in length. The colors vary from pure white to rich wall¬ 
flower-red. Usually sown in early summer, in a frame, and the plants 
transplanted to the garden in the autumn. They require slight 
protection over winter. Trade Pkt. 50 cts., f^oz. $1. 
Statice dumosa 
One of the best varieties for drying. Resembles the well-known 
A. incana nana, except that the individual florets are larger and 
brighter. It is silvery white when dry and lavender when fresh. 
Growing 20 inches high, the stalks are more than twice the size of 
A. incana nana. Perfectly hardy in any climate. Trade Pkt. 25 cts.,

We offer a complete list of cuttings and 2 Vi-inch pots

Schizanthus 
CANADIAN SUPER-GIANTS. Blooms 2 inches across. Because 
these have the largest flowers of any strain of Schizanthus in 
existence, and because they have rich colorings and unusual mark¬ 
ings not seen heretofore, they will be recognized as distinct and 
superior. Although most valuable as a greenhouse or conservatory 
plant, the Schizanthus may be grown outdoors in a position 
sheltered from high winds. For this purpose, treat as a half-hardy 
annual, sowing in February under glass and planting out when all 
danger of spring frosts is over. Trade Pkt. $1, 3 pkts. $2.50.

Canary-Yellow and of far better habit, throwing long spikes well 
covered with larger blooms. A decided improvement over any 
other yellow Stock.

This stately plant is a mass of large, sweetly perfumed, double 
flowers.
