PEIM'TJLA SINEN'SIS, Nat. Ord. Primula cece. Charming greenhouse perennials. 



For winter decoration Primulas are amongst the jnost important of greenhouse plants, and it is of the first 

 7noment that the seed should be from the finest types of flowers. It is 'well known that several of the growers for 

 Covent Garden Market are noted for their Primulas, the flo-wers being large, rich in colour, and of great substance, 

 while the habit of the plant is robust and the flowers standing well above the foliage. It is from this style of 

 plant the seed we offer has been saved, and it is unsurpassed. IVe jnention this simply on account of the pretensions 

 put forth bv some houses, intended to make believe that they and they only possessed this Covent Garden quality 

 of Primula, "having botight the entire stock," they say. XVe had of this fine strain as mtich as we wanted, and
