PRIMULA JAPONICA. {New Crimson Primrose.) The London 

 " Floral Magazine " remarks : " Since the day when Lilium 

 Auratum was displayed for the first time to the horticultu-

 been occasioned by any plant as the one in question." It is 

 styled in England, the "Queen of the Primroses," and is 

 perfectly hardy tliere. It was introduced by Mr. Fortune 

 from Japan. The leaves resemble those of the English 

 Primrose, but are about three times the size ; the flowers 

 are produced on a tall scape in whorls, the color being a 

 rich rosy purple with a dark eye ; the seed takes a long
