> Primula Sinensis. 



(Chinese Primrose) 



Many persons seem to 

 think Primulas are suc- 

 cessfully propagated only 

 in a greenhouse, hence we 

 find amateurs often reluc- 

 tant to attempt their cul- 

 ture. They are unequalled 

 as winter bloomers and 

 easily grown if the right 

 conditions are observed, 

 and give a succession of 

 flowers throughout the 

 season, and are prized for 

 both their beauty and deli- 

 cate fragrance. Superiine 

 mixed. Pkt. 50 seeds 10c.

This elegant vineis'veiy 

 easily grown from seed, 

 which, though slow to germinate, is sure to grow. It is not 

 only a fine window vine, but exceedingly fine for outdoof 

 planting wherever a small growing vine is wanted. In tha 

 open ground it grows luxuriantly, furnishing great quantities 

 of its dainty, glossy-green sprays, which are exquisite to use in 

 cut-flower work, and remain fresh and green until after early 

 frosts. In the house it requires good light and freedom from 

 dust. The feathery little blooms are delicately fragrant, but 

 its chief merit is in its exquisitely beautiful foliage. Tender perennial.
