Single Petunias 
Physalis Francheti - Chinese Lantern 
This beautiful 2-foot plant is grown chiefly for 
the orange-scarlet, lantern-like fruit in fall, which 
can be cut and dried for winter bouquets. Native 
bittersweet, artistically arranged with Chinese Lan- 
terns, adds to the winter decoration of the home. 
Although a perennial, the pods are produced the 
same year from spring-sown seed, Pkt. 10 cts.; 1402. 
50 cts. 
Pansy 
Our seed is most carefully selected, and if the 
plants are given a cool, moist soil, protected from 
harsh winds and the mid- day sun, unusually large 
flowers will be produced. Their color is unsurpassed 
in brilliancy and markings. Sow seeds in mid- 
summer and protect plants over winter in a cold- 
frame. The blooms on plants from spring-sown seed 
will not be as large on account of summer heat. 
Mixed colors, pkt. 50 cts.; 140z. $3; oz. $10. 
Portulaca 
Beautiful little plants with cylindrical, pale green 
leaves and reddish stems that bear an abundance of 
shining flowers of yellow, orange, or scarlet. It 
frequently reseeds itself. Very valuable in rockeries, 
as edging to beds, or broadcast over sunny banks. It 
is the best covering for dry, sunny places, thriving 
on less water than most garden plants. Single, 
Mixed, pkt. 10 cts.; 140z. 30 cts. Double, Mixed, 
pkt. 10 cts.; 140z. 75 cts.
