WHITE I’EKFECTION. 
WHITE PEREECTION — 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. C(/. 6s. each,

Work, i)th July, 1887. 
“ Fine Primulas. — Messrs. Cannell, well-knoivn skilful cultivators of Primulas, have sent us some

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.

“ As far as we know, a new departure, being what florists call Auricula-eyed ; colour, crimson-

The seeds I had of you last year were good, the I’rimulas were a splendid strain. I took the 
prize with them at the Woodbridge Cbrysanthemum Show in November, and first prize for the 
Balsams I had from you, the best Balsams I ever saw.
