PRIMULA. 



This charming and beautiful floweiiug plant is indispensable for win- 

 ter or spring decoration.^ in the home or conservatory. It is one of our ■ 

 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.
