uncommon coloured Primulas of the whole collection ; very striking. 9 in.

CANNELLS IMPROVEMENT — The highest bright red, is a 
grand march onwards of the Swanley-Red type; habit, size, substance, and 
■ fiery colour of its flowers far excels all others, except our new ones ; 
habit and freeness, together with its fine flowers, constitute it a gem. 9 in

Cannells’ Pink — Is acknowledged to be the most perfect Primula 
ever raised; colour, the most lovely of pinks ever seen, nearly resembling 
.the tint at the base of the petals of La France rose. By carrying your 
thoughts to that flower you can readily imagine the grandeur of this variety, 
the largest bloom and the finest habit. The value can readily be seen.

PHINCKSS MARY. 
Princess Mary— Our variety named White Perfection is known and 
valued throughout the world. This is also a pure white, but of the highest 
quality flower, so overlapping is its petals that it well-nigh resembles the 
outline of a gigantic double. Its fimbriation is not approached by any 
other kind ; habit good ; and very free. Those who have honoured us with 
a visit have probably observed the lovely parsley-shaped leaves. The 
original was called Crispifolia, bat its flowers were of the poorest descrip- 
tion. The question was to put a really good flower on this ornamental 
foliage plant,, and after years of attentive work and many disappointments 
we at last succeeded in raising a variety possessing the coveted prize ; and 
after our esteemed customers have seen a flower, we quite expect one and 
all to say, “ We are quite entitled to a gold medal from the nation.” At 
all events, of this we are quite certain, that if placed before anyone 
interested in snch matters, they would say and write as we have done. 9 in.

White Perfection — The loveliest and the most perfect in habit, 
flower, and freeness, and 6tands at the head of this class. In February 
(1887) it was exhibited in bettveen two which were expected to excel it, 
hut it far distanced them by long odds, and confirmed the fact that no 
other variety raised is near its equal. 9 inches. First-Clas6 Certificate.
