PRIMROSES 



GIANT FRINGED 

 CHINESE 



{Primula Sinensis Grandiflora Fimbriate) 

 Chinese Primroses are among our finest winter and spring 

 blooming pot plants; of healthy, sturdy growth, 8 to 12 inches 

 high, and free from insects; while they produce for weeks large 

 trusses of flowers, which, in our new Giant varieties, average 

 from 4 ' 2 to 6 inches in circumference.

GIANT STAR PRIMROSES 



(Primula Stellata Hybrida Giganlea) 

 3530 This distinct and beautiful type should be better known, 

 for it is an unrivaled winter and spring flowering pot plant and 

 for table decoration unique and effective. The attractive 

 dark foliage on purple stems makes a striking contrast to the 

 innumerable star-shaped flowers borne in graceful pyramidal 

 clusters. The flowers of this new type are much larger than 

 the old type Stellatas and of greater substance.

These are very popular early spring 

 flowering plants — hardy, though in very 

 cold localities they should have light 

 protection — meadow hay, leaves or 

 similar material, such as given Pansies, 

 Forget-Me-Xots, etc., or they all may 

 be wintered over in cold frames.

 cross, equaling in dimensions those of their Chinese rivals, with the added 

 .merit of being easier grown and having a longer duration of bloom
