Primula Sinensis, Chinese Primrose. 
Many persons seem to think Primulas are successfully propagated 
only in the greenhouse, hence we find amateurs often reluctant * 
attempt their culture. They are unequalled 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 beauty and their delicate fragrance. 
Single fringed, finest mixed. Phi., 50 seeds, 10 cts. 
Primula, Double. 
Best mixed, all colors. Pht., 30 seeds, 14 els. 
Primula Obconica. 
Primula Obconica is as near an everblooming 
plant as it is possible to obtain. It has been 
known to flower for over twelve months without 
a break. Pht., 100 seeds, 5 cts. 
Polyanthus, Primula Elatior. 
Showy, early spring, free flowering plants, fine 
for either pot or outdoor culture, hardy perennialv 
9 inches. The best single, all col rs mixed. 
Phi., 200 seeds, 5 cts. 
Rose, Multiflora True. 
With seed of these new Roses, plants may be had in bloom 
in sixty days, from the time of sowing. Plant at any time. 
They grow quickly and flowers appear in large clusters, and 
in such quantity that a plant looks like a bouquet. Perfectly 
hardy in the garden, where they bloom all summer. In pots 
they bloom both summer and winter. From a packet of seeds 
one will get Roses of various colors — white, pink, crimson, etc. 
No two alike and mostly perfectly double and very sweet. 
Pht., 30 seeds, 8 cts. 
Platycodon, Chinese Bell Flower. 
Hardy perennials, producing very showy flowers during the 
whole season. They form large clumps, and are excellent for 
planting in permanent borders or among shrubbery. Mixed 
blue and white. Pht., 500 seeds, 5 cts. 
Star Primula. 
Primula Stellata Hybrida. 
Many of the blooms are equal in 
form and purity of color to those of 
the Chinese Prirr ula, and, as they 
last longer and the plants can be 
much more easily grown, they de- 
serve to be widely cultivated. Of 
the seed now offered the mixture 
contains seven charming and 
distinct colors. Pht., 100 seeds, 8 cts. 
The Mexican Primrose. 
The superb colors, combined 
with airy grace and a beautiful 
form make a flower which is almost 
perfection. The plant seldom 
grows over ten inches in height, 
but inclines to a trailing habit, 
sweeping its branches out over the 
ground, or drooping out 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 profusely; will thrive well 
under any and all conditions and 
bloom the year round in pots, or 
during the spring, summer and 
fall in the garden. 
Pht., 100 seeds, 6 cts. 
Miss C. H. Lippincolt: 
Dear Friend: The seeds I 
got from you have always done 
well. My sweet peas are up 
and doing so nicely ; every seed 
grew by the way they look, so I 
thought I would, send for rose 
bushes. Hope they will prove 
as satisfactory as your seeds. 
Respectfully yours, 
Mrs. Emma Von Drew.
