PRIMULA SINENSIS. 
(CHINESE PRIMROSE.) 
Many persons seem to think Primulas are suc- 
cessfully propagated only in a greenhouse, hence 
we find amateurs often reluctant, to attempt 
their culture. They are unequaled as winter 
bloomers, easily grown, if the right conditions 
are observed, and give a succession of flowers 
throughout the season, and are prized for both 
the beauty and their delicate fragrance. Single 
fringed, finest mixed, pkt., 40 seeds, 8 
cts. Good mixed, pkt., 40 seeds/ 6 cts.

THE MEXICAN PRIMROSE. 
The 6uperb colors, combined with 
airy grace and beautiful form, goes 
to make a flower which is almost 
perfection. The plant seldom grows 
over ten inches in height, but in- 
clines to a trailing habit, sweeping 
its branches out over the ground, or 
drooping over the sides of the pot, 
holding its large silky flowers erect, 
as a window plant it combines great 
hardiness and ease of culture, with 
unrivaled beauty and profusion of 
bloom. In the open ground it grows 
freely and blooms profusely, will 
thrive well under any and all condi- 
tions and bloom the year round in 
pots or during the spring, summer 
and fall in the garden. Pkt., 40 
6eeds, 6 cts.
