DREER'S FLOWER SEEDS FOR SUMMER SOWING 



Primula (Primrose) 



The charmiag 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 early summer.
