SPECIALTY SEED ITEMS 
On this page we take pleasure in offering seeds of two genera which 
are favorites with us. 
The first of these is the genus Primula, and again it is the high 
quality seeds of Hurst and Son Ltd., that we offer. After all, it is in 
England that the primula has been brought to its high state of development 
and it is from England that the best seed is produced.

years.

HEMEROCALLIS 
The search for good red Hemerocallis is in full swing through- 
out the United States. We have been in the hybridizing end of the Hem- 
erocallis game for the past ten years and have found a few crosses which 
give a high percentage of plants with flowers in varying degrees of red. 
The hand work involved and the limited number of seeds harvested from so 
limited a series of crosses makes this seed rather expensive, but when 
you consider that some of the plants you raise from your seeds may rival 
varieties on the market for prices like $10.00 and $15.00 per plant, it 
is well worth the price. 
Packet of 10 plump viable seeds from parents which give a high percentage 
of red offspring--all hand pollenated------------------------------- $1.00 
SEMESAN--for dusting seed before planting to prevent damping off of the young 
plants after they germinate.
