Harvard University Botanic Garden, Cambridge, Mass., A r ov. 14, iqo2. 

 Messrs. R. 6° J. Farquhar (Sr 5 Co. ; 



Gentlemen : For the last ten years I have grown Chinese Primroses from your seed. The seeds always 

 germinate quickly and produce strong, vigorous, compact plants. The flowers are produced abundantly, and a 

 splendid feature about them is that they stand well above the foliage. Your Chiswick Bed and Farquhar's Giant 

 White are especially good. Farquhar's Jmproved Blue is the best blue Primrose in cultivation . Your Primula 

 Stellata is very fine, especially the white variety, for which I received last year a First Class Certificate of Merit 

 from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 



Yours respectfully, 



ROBERT CAMERON, Superintendent.
