POLY ANTHUS 
EF ALL the beauties in the Primrose family, 
the Polyanthus is the most popular. She is 
the queen of the spring scene reigning over 
a freshly washed, sunned and aired garden, 
and but for the laughter in her golden eyes 
and unexacting nature, she is always dif- 
ferent. Rain or shine there are new blos- 
soms every day running the scale of the blues. 
Z? from pale China silk and cornflower to navy 
enndee ras from shell and peach to rose and geranium; 
frosty whites, chamois, rich yellows, orange and tawny nas- 
turtium Shades; new and resonant reds from light mandarin 
to the profoundly deep velvet ones. The color gradation is 
boundless. Likewise a rich diversity is Shown in central de- 
signs, in petal, floret and texture composition, and fragrance 
seems never the same—a dash of violet, a piquant touch of 
cowslip, or at times the full, heady scent of old fashioned 
wallflowers in the sun. 
Barnhaven Polyanthus develop numerous stalks 9 to 12 
inches as the season advances, each stalk topped by a large 
compact cluster of individual blossoms which are rarely un- 
der, and more often over silver dollar size. Plant groups 
where they can be watched from windows, under fruit trees, 
in secluded spots where you come upon them suddenly, or 
boldly in semi-shaded borders and beds, or north and east 
Situations for all to see and glory in their beauty.
