POLY ANTHUS 
Neel Het. in an: old apple orchard that 
looks down on the wooded stream and 
across to the snow peaks of the Cascades, 
are growing some 40,000 Polyanthus plants, 
hardy perennials rich in foliage and prom- 
ised bloom. There are beds labeled Porce- 
lain, Iris striped, Gloxinia, Linda’s pink and 
coral, Pastel crosses, Cerise, Azure and In- 
digo, Cowichan crosses, Ed’s Kwan Yin and our original 
Kwan Yin, black and rose Victorian, New Orchid, New pas- 
tels, Pastel reds, Lavender, Carnation. From these and 
others will come many new shades for future inclusion into 
those blocks labeled Grand Canyon, Desert Sunset, Indian 
Reds and all the rest of the color series here listed which 
can transform an entire garden or a small, uninteresting 
Shady spot into a perennial attraction no one can resist. We 
dig from these beds for you almost the year round, some- 
times in half-snow, often in rain and finally in sunshine 
when the vireos and the Spicy fragrances tell us that spring 
is at its height. 
These Barnhaven Polyanthus, which have come to be 
called SILVER-DOLLAR PRIMROSES because the size of 
each flower equals or exceeds silver dollar size, are beau- 
tiful plants. Rugged, heavily rooted, rich foliaged, produc- 
ing, each spring, sturdy stalks 9 to 12 inches high topped 
by great clusters of bloom magnificent in size and color, 
they are one of our greatest achievements. 
These are large, blooming-size, silver-dollar Polyanthus 
plants: 3/$1.50; 6/$2.75; 12/$5 plus postage, page 43.
