PRIMULA KEWENSIS 



See neritts' Review. Bestoi repert, page 1099. Feb. 28. 



This charming addition to our greenhouse 

 Primroses originated at the Royal Gardens, Kew, 

 as an accidental cross between the small, bright- 

 flowered Himalayan species, P. floribunda, and 

 the sweet-scented P. verticillata, a native of 

 Arabia. The plant is a strong grower, with 

 bright green leaves, and numerous erect flower- 

 scapes, 10 to 18 inches in height, producing flow- 

 ers in whorls at intervals along their whole 

 length. The flowers are fragrant, bright yellow 

 in color, with a slender tube and spreading limb, 

 nearly an inch in diameter. As a winter-flower- 

 ing decorative plant it is an acquisition; its 

 floriferousness when in a very small state is re- 

 markable. Per pkt., 91.00.

CATALOGUE ILLUSTRATION. 



After commenting on the absence of 

 the usual number of gaudy lithographs in 

 this year's catalogues, a writer in the 

 Rural New-Yorker says : * ' The substitu- 

 tion of accurate photographic reproduc- 

 tions of flowers, fruits and plants for the 

 old misleading woodcuts gives an air of 

 sincerity to many catalogues that was 

 formerly lacking, but every halftone is 

 not directly made from the object repre- 

 sented. This process reproduces as well 

 from wash drawings, which may show the 

 subject, not as nature produced it, but as 

 the artist conceives it should have grown ! 

 Little exaggeration, however, is indulged 

 in except in the cases of a few incorrigi- 

 ble offenders, whose customers must cer- 

 tainly be accustomed to discount the 

 claims heavily. The catalogues on the 

 whole present such good appearance that 

 the colored lithograph as an important 

 pictorial feature may be largely discon- 

 tinued in the future. A similar restraint 

 is creeping by degrees into the descrip- 

 tive matter, transforming seed and nurs- 

 ery catalogues, acknowledged advertise- 

 ments as they are, into reliable and in- 

 structive monographs of value to every 

 ■cultivator. ' ' 



The Beview is the florists' best paper.
