Primula Malacoides 



This new race of Primroses from the 

 mountains of China has proven most pro- 

 fuse-flowering for pot culture. The plants 

 form rosettes of light green leaves from 

 which numerous wiry stems — 8 to 10 inches 

 in height — gracefully carry whorls of flowers 

 M to M of an inch across. They are easily 

 grown from seed and commence flowering 

 in about 4 months from sowing and con- 

 tinue to bloom in increasing profusion for 

 many weeks. A cool situation indoors or 

 in the conservatory suits them to perfection.

 beautifully and my plants this winter are 

 simply magnificent." 



Mrs. M. H. TEBBS, Leesburg, Va. 



Primula Obconica Gigantea 



These "Ever-flowering Primroses" are 

 favorite pot plants for house and conserva- 

 tory. The Chinese Primroses will have_to 

 look to their laurels for this new giant 

 Obconica race is looming up in size of 

 flowers, many of them measuring \Yi inches 

 across, equalling in dimensions those of 

 their Chinese rivals, with the added merit 

 of being easier grown and having a longer 

 duration of bloom. Several colors in 

 mixture, white, crimson, rose, violet, lilac, 

 pink-eyed sorts, etc Pkt. 25c, 



"My Primroses are the admiration of every 

 one who sees them and some of my friends will 

 send to you for the seed." 



Mrs. D. C. CLARK, Puyallup, Wash. 



Giant Star Primroses 



(Primula Stellata Hybrida Gigantea) 

 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 sterna 

 makes a striking contrast to the innumer- 

 able 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.
