primrose:. 



(Arnebia cornuta.) 

 A charming annual, growing in bushy form about two feet high and about the same breadth. It blooms 

 with unusual profusion during the whole summer— one plant often producing from 100 to 150 spikes of exceed- 

 ingly beautiful flowers, over X of an inch across, and of a rich primrose yellow, marked with five black spots ; 

 the spots change on the second day to a rich maroon, and on the third day vanish, leaving the flower a clear, 

 bright yellow. It is an excellent cut flower ; the blooms remain fresh, in water, for ten days. Highly effective 

 when grown in masses. (See cut.) Per packet, 25 cts.
