PRIMULA POLYANTHUS 
Again this season we offer, subject to crop, a limited amount 
of seed of a very good strain of primroses; in fact, a combina- 
tion of the strains of several leading Primrose breeders. Hand 
pollenized seed from a wide range of colors, including reds, 
bronzes, yellows, whites, pinks, blues and numerous inter- 
mediate shades, tints, and variations, in mixture only at $1.50 
per packet.

ANEMONE FULGENS 
Neither color illustrations nor descriptive adjectives can 
adequately portray the beauty of these Scarlet Windflowers. 
although their name, fulgens, indicates something of their 
fiery red coloring. Aside from their intrinsic value for bril- 
liance and form, they are unusual in supplying such high 
coloring so early in the season, occasionally blooming here in 
the Northwest in January, but ordinarily starting to open in 
February and continuing until near May 1st. The color is 
comparable to that of the species Tulip, fosteriana, but with 
perhaps a bit less orange in its composition. The daisy-like 
flowers are 2 to 2% inches in diameter and are borne on 
stems about six inches long at the start of the season with 
increasing height to 12 to 15 inches at the close. Splendid for 
cut flowers. The blooms close at night and on cloudy days 
but open with sunshine or when taken into a warm room. In 
our opinion, the finest of all anemones with which we are 
acquainted. 
This plant grows from a rootstock which appears to be little 
more than a gnarled and twisted piece of dead bark. Should 
preferably be planted in the fall and given loose friable soil 
with good drainage but plenty of moisture during the growing 
season. Possibly not hardy in very cold sections but has with- 
stood zero temperatures here. Where lower temperatures 
prevail some protection would be advisable, such as a cover of 
fir boughs or a cold frame. Spring planting would likely give 
very few blooms the first year; in fact, fall planting will not 
assure a maximum display until the second year. A very 
worth while companion to your Daffodil planting. 25c each, 
$2.50 per dozen. 
IRIS SEED 
We grow a goodly number of the best of the newer Bearded 
Irises and make many crosses each year among these and the 
best of our own seedlings. We do not offer specific crosses 
but can supply seed from crosses of our selection, labeled, at 
25 seeds for $1.00; or 40 seeds from mixed crosses for $1.00.
