Chinese Primroses 
are among our finest 
winter and spring 
blooming pot plantsfor 
the window garden,con- 
servatory and green- 
house. The plants are 
attractive, 8 to 12 
inches high, of healthy, 
sturdy growth, and free 
from insects; while they 
produce for weeks large 
trusses of flowers, which, in 
our new Giant varieties, 
average from 4% to 6 inches 
in circumference. Seed sown in 
the spring produces fine plants for 
the next winter’s blooming. The 
varieties offered below we have selected 
from the best Giant strains procured by us 
from specialists in England, France and Ger- 
many, and were grown to perfection in our own 
greenhouses for comparison. What we catalogue 
is strictly the cream, and fanciers will find them all of surpassing excellence. 
Henderson’s Giant Crystal White. The finest pure white Primrose grown; flowers are 
immense, perfectly round and flat, with broadly overlapping petals having feathered edges;
