ttora. A profuse bloom- 

 ing Piimruse, bearing on 

 long stems heads con- 

 taining 10 to 15 flowers. 

 Pure white, shading occa-

This charming and beautiful flowering plant is indispensable for winter 

 or spring decorations in the home or conservatory. It is one of our most 

 important winter-blooming pot plants. The seed we offer is of the high- 

 est 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.
