WHITE PERFECTION. — The loveliest and the most perfect in habit, flower, and freeness, 
and stands at the head of this class. Last February (1887) it was exhibited in between two which 
were expected to excel it, but it far-distanced them by long odds, and confirmed the fact that no 
other variety raised is near its equal. First-Class Certificate. Per pkt., 2s. (jd. 
BRAID'S SEEDLING (Auriculseflora), exhibited last year, was unanimously awarded a First- 
Class Certificate — areal break from anything previously seen; its distinct rich, bronze, starry. 
Auricula centre leads one, even the most practical, to suggest that the blood of the Auricula is in it. 
so striking is its distinctness, fine habit, colour (like the ordinary Magna Coccinea Primula), and 
glaring centre, that it stops everybody on first, seeing it, and the general exclamation is — “ This is a 
new break, and the first of a new class.” (See Coloured Plate ) Per pkt., 2*. Gd. 
SWANLEY GIANT.— All lovers of Primulas will remember the pride and pleasure they first 
bestowed on the good old Magna Coccinea ; the colour of this now offered is similar, but brighter, 
flowers considerably' larger, and overlapping gigantic truss; strong, dwarf habit, is a wonderful 
advance on the old style of Primulas, and for general decoration, rough, quick market treatment, is 
far the best of this family ever sent out. Per pkt., 4s. (See Coloured Plate.)

“ Fine Primulas. — Messrs. Cannell, well-known skilful cultivators of Primulas, have sent us some 
wonderfully fine blooms of these popular flowers. The lighter-coloured flowers are particularly 
good, indeed, we have never seen better, and the dark ones rich, the whole showing the excellence 
of their strain .” — Garden Work , 5th Feb., 1887.
