Beautiful showy hardy perennials.

co?npiete 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. hi the rock- 
garden, and for naturalization in 
semi-wild places, they are valuable.

PEIM'ULA, Nat. Ord. Primula! ceoe. 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 ofi the 
growers for Covent Garden Market are noted for their Primulas, the flowers being large, rich in colour, andofl 
great substance, while the habit of ttu 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.
