h.p. Primrose, “ Beaeonsfleld Primroses,” or Fancy 
Polyanthus — All are familiar with the ordinary yellow primrose, and 
probably with some few of the coloured varieties, but very, very few, have 
the slightest idea of the grand varieties originating from the result of long 
and careful hybridising and selection : strong growers and most abundant 
bloomers; flowers of immense size, and of such colour and shape that many 
will not be prepared to believe, for the simple reason they have not seen 
anything to approach them; colours varying from a blue purple, dark 
maroon-scarlet, yellow, white, and a hundred other intermediate colours. 
None will dispute them, und we guarantee that they will give more than 
satisfaction. 6s. per doz. fine blooming plants ; seeds, Is. and 2s. per pkt

Primula Obeoniea blooms in the latter half of summer, but it is from 
December to June that in a conservatory or cold frame it attains its height 
of attractiveness and beauty, and all the while furnishes a very plentiful 
and useful material for cutting. The colour of the flowers, which measure 
about two-thirds of an inch across, slightly varies between white and pale 
lilac, and the plant has been described and favourably commented upon in 
all the gardening papers of repute. ft. Is. and 2s. per pkt.
