CHATERS IMPROVED HOLLYHOCK 
LEWISIA SEEDS 
Lewisia are rather easily grown from seed if a few simple needs 
are provided. The seeds require freezing. This may be done in the 
refrigerator with temperature of 38 degrees for ten days. In cooler 
regions it is easier to sow in open seed beds fall to quite early 
spring, using one-third fibrous leafmold, two-thirds silty loam, cover¬ 
ing the bed with fine chaff. Full description and illustration are 
found in plant catalog. 
Fresh plump seeds of the following species, pkt. 25c. Nevadensis. 
Brachycalyx, Rediviva, Cotyledon, Finchii, Howellii, Hecknerii, 
Leeana. Any 5 of the above, your choice, for $1.00. 
PRIMULA ACAULIS. GIANT BLUE 
In the lovely blue acaulis primroses which flower so long I hove 
searched the world for the finest strain. No strain comes entirely 
true but I find this gives the largest percentage of fine blue shade. 
Use one-half good soil, one-half fibrous leafmold. Sow in flats and 
keep moist and dark until germination occurs, then gradually accus¬ 
tom to light. Pkt. 50c. 
POLYANTHUS PRIMROSE. KELWAY'S 
PERFECT MODEL 
A fine bed of polyanthus is a joy in spring and for size of flowers 
and range of brilliant colors I believe this surpasses any other. 
Culture as for P. Acaulis. Pkt. 35c. 
TIGRIDIA SEEDS 
These brilliant summer-flowering bulbs (see inside back cover) are 
quite easily raised from seed. Sow in cold frame in April-May or 
in rows in garden in May in sandy loam soil. Usually 50% will 
flower the first year. In mild regions bulbs may be left in ground 
but in cold climate dig and store immediately in moist sand. 
Splendid Mixture.
