"I bought seeds of you last year and my flowers 

 have been the admiration of all that hare seen them. 

 My Primroses are the handsomest 1 ever saw any- 

 where. My friends say they will buy from no other 

 £rin after this." 



MTSS MAGGIE V. ALBRIGHT. Durham, N. C. 



" The Primula Obconica Hybrids bought of you 

 last year grew Btrong plants with blooms superior to 

 those exhibited at the Philadelphia Chrysanthemum 

 Show last fall." 



MARGARET B. WIGGINS, Wrightstowa, Pa.

 — the best I ever had." 



LEVI A. LOVELAND, Florist, Newark, N. T. 



"Before closing, I want to commend your Prim- 

 rose seeds. From a paper I obtained fifty plants and 

 they are doing finely. One of the Fern-leaved has its 

 first blossom, which is considerably larger than a 

 silver dollar and seems grotesquely out of place on 

 such a little plant."
