RUM 
HYBRIDUM. 
A beautiful, early - flowering, 
hardy perennial. The foliage is 
finely cut and quite ornamental: 
the flowers art in vivid shades of 
rose ami pink,i s large as an Aster, 
and remarkable for the length of 
time they remain perfect. It is 
perfectly hardy and easily raised 
from seed. A great mass of the 
blossoms used last summer as a 
church decoration on Children’s 
Day made a wonderfully pretty 
and showy sight. Devote some 
odd corner of the garden to them 
and grow a mass of them. Thev 
come early, are splendid for all 
cut flower purposes, very showy 
and pretty, and entirely hardy 
anywhere, even in our more nor¬ 
thern latitudes. Pkt., *i ctH.

PRIMULA SINENSIS 
(Chinese Primrose). 
Primulas are easily raised from seed. My “Cul¬ 
ture of Flowers,” which each customer receives, 
gives careful directions, by which an amateur 
may succeed with them. They bloom year after' 
year, but new plants always blossom more freely, 
and it is well to sow seed each year. This is a 
mixture of choice named varieties, including's^ 
both plain and fringed petals. Perennial. Mixed.fsi
