DESCRIPTION. 
Whitlavia-Iike flowers; showy. 
Well known and useful, ornamental 
climbers, very much used for veranda 
or trellis work. 
These flowers are of extreme beauty 
and are greatly admired. Their long 
duration of bloom, combined with 
their unequalled richness of color, 
renders them of invaluable service in 
the flower garden. By making a 
second sowing they may be had in 
bloom until frost. They prefer a rich 
soil and plenty of water. 
The doubles if sown and grown carefully 
make a splendid display of color last¬ 
ing all season. 
Useful plant for lawn or conservatory. 
Fine foliage which is in grand contrast 
to the balloon-like seed pods of bright 
orange-red color. 
Charming plant bearing spikes of pink 
flowers. 
(Greek Valerian.) Showy, old favorites 
Pretty for borders. 
These beautiful little favorites grow best 
in a light, dry soil. The seed should 
not be sown until the weather is warm. 
They are very suitable for edgings, 
rockwork, beds, etc. A percentage of 
the seed sold as double produce single 
flowers; as these bloom earli'er they 
may be recognized and pulled out. 
Very useful for mixed borders. They 
last a long time in bloom. 
Primulas are fine for winter and spring 
blooming; are free-flowering, and es¬ 
pecially valuable for cut flowers or 
for house and window culture; a cool 
place suits them best. 
To secure good results in growing these 
favorites the planter must he sure to 
obtain the very best strains only . Our 
seed is the cream of several collections 
that are recognized as the best in Europe. 
Breck's Superb is the finest strain in 
existence; vigor of plants, size, sub¬ 
stance and variety of delicate shades 
of flowers are its features.
