Chinese Primu 



Primula Obconica 



Allow me to state that from the Primula seed we had from you last 

 spring I have plants that measure 22 inches across and a mound of 

 bloom in splendid colors. 



JAS. HEPBURN, Canajoharie, N. T., Feb. 26, 1893. 



A year ago I sent to you for a packet of your Primula seed, the 

 English Mixed. From one packet of seed I raised 38 good, strong 

 plants, and for the past three months they have been gorgeous with 

 blossoms of the most beautiful colors and varieties I ever saw. They 

 have been admired by all who have seen them. 



MRS. A. B. WALDRON, Troy, Pa., Feb. 22, 1893. 



We have in our greenhouses in bloom now your choice Primulas 

 grown from seed that came from you last fall. They are the finest we 

 have ever had ; the size of the flower and variety of colors I don't 

 think can be improved on. H. H. COX & SON, Maysville, Ky.
