(Primula Forbesi.) 



Last spring this plant became qmte 

 famous and Avas much used in very 

 elegant and handsome decorations as 

 sprays of cut flowers and plants for 

 table and mantel. It gives a peculiar 

 dainty and handsome effect to bou- 

 quets and baskets, and is of great 

 value in all really artistic decorations. 



Why you should grow the Baby Primrose. 



Plants begin to bloom when only one inch high. 



Plants in 2 inch pots 3 months ago. now in 6 inch, carry more 

 than 50 sprays of flowers, and will continue to bloom in greater 

 profusion. It's a perpetual bloomer. 



The flowers remain fresh nearly a month after being cut. 

 ^ The stems are long and erect, hence useful for all purposes. 



The rosy-lilac flowers are just the right color for all purposes. 



For Easter blooming nothing could be more desirahle. 



The more you cut it the more it blooms. 



It is elegant as a pot plant or for jardinieres.
