No. 7. Arabis Alpina FL. PL. — This is a double form 

 of the common rock cress, and is fast becoming a popular 

 plant. It will thrive in almost any soil, in open positions, 

 and soon makes a large spreading clump, and in the early 

 spring is literally covered with sheets of its snowy 

 flowers. The flowers are Cjuite double and much re- 

 semble, a double stock in appearance. It is easily in- 

 creased from cuttings, and is especially suitable for the 

 rookery or spring garden, it may also be used for flower- 

 ing indoors where a variety of plants are required. 



No. 8. Primula Stcllata. — This comparatively new 

 type of winter flowering Primrose is fast becoming a 

 ■ great favorite, and deservedly so. It has a light and 

 graceful appearance, and many charming combinations, 

 and decorations may be made with it, the flowers may 

 also be used cut, and have good lasting qualities. 



No. 9. Primula Chincnsis. — This old favorite hardly 

 needs a description, yet it is seldom out of an exhibition 

 that we see such a good example as the one illustrated : 

 note the size of the truss and substance of the flowers. 



In growing this class of plants it pays to get the very 

 best strain possible, and it is on the good strain of such 

 flowers that seedsmen build up a reputation ; of course, 

 culture has quite a little to do with it, yet no matter how 

 good or careful the grower is he will never make a weedy 

 type into a high class specimen, therefore in purchasing 

 our seed it behooves us to have no partiality for one firm, 

 but buy the very best.
