THE BABY

 continuously from September to June in the greenhouse, conservatory or 

 window garden. It bears a profusion of sprays of rosy-lilac flowers, very 

 useful for bouquets. Price, 25c. each, S2.25 per doz. 



A New Yellow Primrose, "BUTTERCUP." 



This beautiful yellow Primrose, "Buttercup," is almost the exact color 

 of the "buttercup" of our fields, and has proved itself to be a variety of 

 sterling merit. A plant in a 6-inch pot carries hundreds of blossoms, 

 ranging in size from three-quarters to an inch in diameter. These are borne 

 on spikes which stand well alone. The foliage is something like Primula 

 obconica, but with the whole of the bloom distributed better up and down 

 the stem. It blooms with marvelous prodigality, being a mass of brilliant 

 yellow throughout the season from October to June. The flower buds 

 should be pinched out in summer to allow the plants to make foliage. It 

 grows readily and is very easy to manage, requiring no special culture. 

 (See cut.) Price, blooming plants, 35c. each. S3. 50 per doz.
