PORTULACA. (MOSS ROSE.) Brilliant dwarf annuals, six inches high. Plant in sunny place and sandy soil. Bloom all summer. Single Mixed Colors. Pkt. 5c, Double Mixed. Rose flowered. Beautiful brilliant colors of great variety, Pkt., 10c. As decorative plants for the house, many species of Palms are rarely prized. Happily those species which will thrive in ordinary heat and with the least care are among the handsomest and most desirable of the genus. They will do well at a window where there is little or no direct sunshine. This peculiarity makes these plants adapted to places quite unsuited to ordinary house plants. A regular, but not excessive, supplj^ of water and a fair light are all the plants demand during the cool season. In summer a more liberal watering is required. The soil should be a substantial fibery loam, with a small quantity of well rotted manure. A daily syringing of the leaves is an advantage, but in winter once a week is sufficient. If kept in a living room with dry furnace heat, daily syringing or spraying the leaves is advisable. Those varieties that are hardy enough to bear planting out on the lawn during warm weather are sure to command attention. Chamaerops Humilis. (Dwarf Fan Palm.) The most hardy and dwarf of its species, seldom attaining over eight or ten feet in height. Pkt. 10c. Chamaerops Excelsa is a greenhouse variety in our climate. As a lawn plant in our southern states nothing could be more conspicuously attrac- tive. A well grown specimen will attain the height of twenty-five or thirty feet. Pkt., 10c. PRIMROSES. A charming and profuse flowering plant, indispensable for winter bloom- ing. Primula. Finest Mixed. All colors, very fine. Pkt. 25c. HARDY PHLOX. {Phlox Decussata.) These rank among the fine
