The charming and beautiful Chinese Fringed Primroses and Ob- 
conica varieties offered on page 107 are indispensable for winter 
or spring decorations in the home or conservatory. They are one 
of the most important winter blooming pot plants. The seed we 
offer is of the highest merit, and has, as usual, been saved from 
the best strains of English and Continental growth. Florists and 
others report that they have never seen finer flowers than those 
produced from our seed. Sow in March, April or May. The 
hardy varieties are also deserving of wide cultivation.
