PRIMULA 
Fiirokn Award of Merit, B.H.S., May 8, 1917.— Eureka 
ciia. jg ^(.jjj Obconica, but of an entirely new form. 
The compact flower heads have more the appearance of " Sinen- 
sis," large well-shaped flowers with broad overlapping petals, and 
are carried well above (ho foliage on stout stems, which obviate 
any necessity for artificial support — are of a rich, rosy carmine, 
shaded cerise, greatly enhanced by a well-defined clear yellow 
eye as in Sinensis. The foliage is also quite distinct, being a 
bright, glaucous green in colour, remarkably undulated and 
frilled, and of wonderful te.tture. We claim that Primula 
Eureka is quite distinct and will prove a rival to Sinensis for 
general use, and it is practically perpetual flowering. Pkt.,
