PRIMULA OFFICINALIS 
PYRETHRUM (Py-ree’-thrum)—Painted Daisy 
Pyrethrums have been called the spring blooming Chrys- 
anthemum and we think that the newer sorts are a very 
close rival of that popular flower. As a cut flower for 
Memorial Day they certainly have no superior. If not 
allowed to seed there will be scattered blooms all summer, 
although these as well as the first flowers after trans- 
planting, are apt to be single. All are propagated vege- 
tatively and are guaranteed true to name. 
PLEASE NOTE—Due to scarcity of stock Pyrethrum will be 
shipped only in the fall. They may, however, be included 
with spring orders and shipment will be made in Sep- 
tember. 
Corillion—A new single salmon pink that is a unique color 
break in this popular flower. Most brilliant of all pinks.

Broad velvety petals surround a lovely golden disk. Single.

lar for cut flower arrangements. 75c¢ each; 3 for $2.00

color is light it has the unusual luster of damask silk and 
stands out among our large collection of fine imported 
Daisies. $3.50 each

PHYGELIUS (Fy-gee’-li-us)—Cape Fuchsia

little known. It is without question one of the very finest of 
all hardy perennials. The shapely 3’ plants are covered with 
intense scarlet, tubular shaped flowers from July to Sep- 
tember. One of the brightest of all hardy plants. Quite 
shrubby in mild climates. With us it must come from the 
ground each year, but entirely hardy anywhere. Full sun or 
light shade. 85c each; 3 for $2.15 
PRIMULA JULIAE HYBRIDS 
PRIMULA (Prim’-eu-la)—Primrose

PRIMULA—Juliae Hybrids 
In all the spring garden there is nothing, in our estimation, 
that makes quite the brilliant splash of color as does this 
fine group of plants. The beautiful evergreen foliage is 
almost completely hidden by the masses of flowers that 
appear as soon as the snow leaves us. They are as hardy as 
a Lilac bush and increase with unbelievable rapidity. 
They are the result of crosses of the hardy species Juliae 
and various other forms of Primulas. Therefore, some are - 
acaulis type and others polyantha, but all are utterly 
lovely. Some even give us a good show again in the fall. 
No garden, large or small, should be without a good col- 
lection of this impressive family. Grow them in that 
shady spot where nething seems to do well.
