The charming and beautiful Chinese fringed Primroses and Obconica 

 varieties are indispensable for winter or spring decorations in the home or 

 conservatory. They are one of the 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 obtainable. Florists and others report that they 

 have never seen finer flowers than those produced from our seed. Can be 

 sown at any time through the summer. The hardy varieties offered are also 

 deserving of wide cultivation.
