PRIMULA. 



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 highest 

 merit, and has, as usual, been saved from the best strains of English and 

 Continental growth. Florists and others report that thev have never seen 

 finer flowers than those produced from our seed. Sow in March, April 

 or May.

3823 Forbesi {Baby Primrose). This is the freest flowering 

 Primula we know of. The seed comes up very readily, and 

 the little plants throw up tiny flower stalks when only a few 

 weeks old. These, however, should be pinched off, and the 

 plants kept growing until October, when the flowers may be 

 allowed to develop, and from then on until late in spring they 

 produce their sprays of beautiful rosy lilac flowers in seemingly 



never-ending profusion 25 



3822 Floribunda. Of the same general character as Obconica, 

 differing only in color of the flower, which is a lovely shade of 

 yellow 25

 a slight protection they will stand the winter, but do better if pro- 

 tected by a cold frame.

 pact and sturdy habit, and bloom freely early in spring. The 

 colors range from white through rose and lilac to bright car- 

 mine and purple-red, including also cream, sulphur and golden- 

 yellow 25
