Seed Catalogue and Garden Guide.

VINCA MAJOR.—This most beautiful trailing plant is shown by the accompanying illustration, but it does not do it justice. The leaves are very handsomely variegated, being of a glossy-green broadly margined with a creamy white. The flowers are a handsome bright blue, and very showy. Blooms freely. Each 10c.
THE CHARMING MEXICAN PRIMROSE—Is the grandest of all new plants. It is strictly a perpetual bloomer, as it is in flower at all times of the year, a good specimen showing always from ten to thirty large saucer-shaped blossoms, about three inches across, of a beautiful, bright, clear pink color, veined with scarlet and with a white center. The superb color, combined with airy grace and beautiful form, goes to make a flower which is in beauty perfection itself. Each blossom keeps perfect many days before fading, and when it droops others are out to take its place, and this succession of beauty is continued from one year’s end to another. The plant is a free grower, succeeding in almost any soil or situation. As a window plant it combines great hardiness and ease of culture with unsurpassed beauty and delicate loveliness, and has no superior. In the open ground it grows freely and blooms profusely all summer. and, in fact, until winter is upon it. Early frosts do not injure it, and it blooms on until frozen solid or covered with snow. It is a plant whose merits of hardiness, ease of culture, perpetual freedom of bloom, and unsurpassed beauty, both in color and habit, are offset by no faults whatever that we have yet discovered. Fine plants all ready to bloom, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.
