Primula obconica gigantea 
PRIMULA 
This genus has received much attention from 
plant hybridizers in recent years, and present-day 
strains have attractive form and dainty colorings 
that were unknown in the earlier varieties. A well- 
grown plant in bloom, with its long-stemmed clus- 
ters of single or double flowers, is a handsome addi- 
tion to the window-garden, and there is sufficient 
variety in those listed below to brighten a consid- 
erable section of an amateur grower's greenhouse.

this charming pot-plant with largest flowers, appearing

very ornamental plant with small dark green leaves and

Warscewiczoides. A very showy plant with very 
large attractive foliage, adapted for subtropical foliage- 
groups. In rich ground the plant grows to a height of 
5 to 6 feet. Strictly speaking, it is not a greenhouse plant 
but, on account of its tender nature, plants cannot be 
set out before June, and must be raised in pots; seed 
should be sown in February and March, and plants 
transplanted singly into small pots and grown on until 
ready for setting out. Pkt. 15 cts.

graceful sprays of tiny white flowers. Exceedingly 
valuable for cutting, and useful for mixing in bouquets

orchid-like blossoms beautifully marked and 
blotched, and borne in greatest profusion. The

height, and from seed sown in the greenhouse in 
February and March, plants will commence to 
bloom in June. Very fine for vases, hanging-baskets, 
and window-boxes.
