The double Portitlacns are of the name 
brilliant and beautiful colour * a* the 
single. Their saucer-shaped flowers 
being filled with petals, greatly en- 
hance their general effect, so that 
wherever beds can be formed of these , 
they will surpass in effect all other 
dwarf bedding plants.

PRIM'ULA, Nat. Ord. Primula cece. Charming greenhouse perennials, etc. 
For winter decoration Primula Sinensis is amongst the most important of greenhouse plants and it is of the 
first moment that the seed should be saved from the finest fringed flowers . It is well known that several of the 
growers for Covent Garden Market are noted for their Primulas , the flowers being large, rich in colour, and of 
great substance, while the habit of the plant is robust and the flowers stand well above the foliage, it is from 
this style of plant the seed we offer has been saved. We mention this simply on account of the pretensions put forth 
by some houses, intended to convey that this Covent Garden quality of Primula is possessed only by them, 
A flower border must indeed be in- 
complete which is not represented 
by some of the beautiful varieties 
of this genus. They are almost 
always in flower, and may be 
usefully grown to cut for filling 
flower baskets, etc. In the rock- 
garden, and for naturalization in 
semi-wild places , they are valuable.

It would he impossible to speak too highly of the New Double Pyrethrums, their large Aster-like flowers are charm- 
ing in May and June, and again in autumn. It is more satisfactory to purchase plan ts of Double Pyrethrum, 
and, we have them at all seasons in pots ready to plant out ; 9 s., 12 s. and i8j. per dozen. 
The Qolden Feather Pyrethrum is indeed the gardener’s 
friend, always t > be relied upon. In tprinu it looks 
like masses of gold ; in summer it relieves the sombre 
lines, lighting up the whole garden, and harmonizing 
with every thing, jrre' eminently with green. At Hat- 
fersea Park the. finest carpet beds perhaps ever seen 
were formed with dlternanlhrra and small plants of. 
the Qolden Feather. FUmt* should never be proj>agnted 
but raised from seed, as seedling plants continue 
longer in condition. Sow several times a gear under 
glass, or in any shady corner out of doors. Golden 
Gem is recommended for ribbons or lines where the 
white flower* as well at the yellow foliage are con- 
sidered u desideratum.
