Hitherto Pentstemons have not attained to the popularity they deserve because ,of the fact that they did not flower the first year. That difficulty is Overcome in this new sort and we look to see it much grown in the near future. The floweis are very large,pften two inches across, and of great variety and brilliancy of color. The seed should be sown in March and the plants get out about the end of May. They will flower continuously from the beginning of July until cut down by frost. Pkt., 25 cts. PHYSALIS FRANCHETI. We are indebted to Japan for this addition to our ornamental plants. It grows about two feet high, is of erect habit and covered with beautiful foliage, which shows off its brilliant seed- pods to great advantage. The seed-pods are the striking feature of the plant; they are almost globular in form (see cut) over two inches in diameter, of a shining orange-red tint and enclose a cherry-like fruit of the same color. This is edible and especially recommended as a preserve. The intense color of the seed-pod makes the plant valuble for decorative purposes. Pkt., 15 cts. PRIMULA SINENSIS FIM- BRIATA. Snowdon. This magnificent new Chinese Primrose is, without doubt, the finest white variety ever.
