Primula (Primrose) 
The charming and beautiful Chinese Fringed Primrose and 
Obconica varieties are indispensable for winter or spring decora- 
tions in the home or conservatory. They are one of the most im- 
portant winter blooming pot plants. The seed we offer is of the 
highest merit, and has, as usual, been saved from the best strains. 
Florists and others report that they have never seen finer flowers 
than those produced from our seed. Sow in March, April or May.

immense trusses of extra large, finely fringed flowers in

Primula Obconica 
These are of the easiest culture in greenhcuse or light window of 
dwelling house, flowering abundantly and continuously with little 
care, and should be sown during the spring in good porous loam. 
They will not germinate well in any compost containing peat or 
leaf mould. To develop the colors to the highest degree, grow in 
heavy soil, and at a temperature as near 60 degrees as possible. 
The Grandiflora varieties are the freest flowering, but lack the 
very large individual blooms of the newer Gigantea type.
