VAUGHAN'S BOOK FOR FLORISTS — CHICAGO AND NEW YORK. 



NEW 



PRIMULA = BUTTERCUP. 



A free-Bowering yellow primrose coming 

 into full bloom for Thanksgiving and Christrnas 

 trade, and continues covered with bloom during 

 winter and spring. The buttercup primrose is 

 unquestionably a fine thing. Those who had it 

 on sale the past season regard it as one of the 

 best flowering plants they have ever handled. It 

 makes a fine house plant, and gives general sat- 

 isfaction. It grows freely from seed, requires 

 the same treatment as the Chinese primrose and 

 makes a famous pot plant. 



This primrose is so floriferous that it is nec- 

 essary to keep the flower buds pinched out until 

 about the first of October, in order to get the 

 plant to make growth instead of all bloom. 



By planting five or more seeds to the pan, 

 according to the size required, you can have 

 magnificent specimens. These should be made 

 up during September, to give the plants time to 

 fill the pan and cover it entirely with yellow 

 250 seeds, 15c.; 1000 seeds, 50c.
