two ; after which bring them in doors, and after thawing, water freely and set 
in a sunny place in the window. Pips can be ordered in December for house 
culture, or in spring or fall for garden culture. Pips, half dozen, 25 cents; dozen,

where the old style Hollyhocks have but one or two. These buds open in 
succession, prolonging the flowering season until autumn. Fine plants that 
will bloom the first season. Each, 15 cents ; six for 75 cents.

The flowers of the Japan Iris are of the richest colors, ranging from white to

eight inches in diameter, and the most delicate and beautiful combinations of 
colors imaginable. Named varieties, including both double and single, each.

PRIMULA VERIS SUPERBA 
This beautiful new Primula originated in a bed of seedling Polyanthus, and is 
probably a hybrid Primrose, having somewhat the habit of a Polyanthus and the 
pale yellow color and the fragrance of the English Primrose. It differs from the 
ordinary forms of Polyanthus in throwing up several trusses from the same root, 
and the corallas being flatter. The trusses of bloom are six inches in diameter, 
and the individual flowers over an inch across, being very much larger than those 
of other hardy Primroses. The plant is ten to twelve inches in height, is per¬ 
fectly hardy, and flowers earlier and continues in bloom longer than any othe r 
Primula. Each, 20 cents ; $ 2.00 per dozen.
