OUR HYBRID PRIMROSES, OR FANCY POLYANTHUS. 
LORD BEACONSPIELD VARIETIES. 
JUlIERE is no greater charm to the eye all through the spring than these. Although they are 
A Primroses, they are totally different to what we are accustomed to see, being stronger growers, 
and their blossoms of an immense si/e and of great variety of colours. Many arc of a lovely deep 
purple-coloured violet, and others approach a <listinct shade of red, whilst the yellows and whites 
are most striking. Equally as good in their various colours as Harbinger, introduced by the 
Mar(iuis of Exeter, and which has given such great satisfaction. 4.9. to 6.s-. doz. Is. per pkt.

HARBINGER — Although numbers of Primroses have been sent out, and justly admired, they 
can bear no comparison rvith this one. Harbinger leaves all white ones far in the rear ; in fact, it is 
one of those marches past that seldom occurs — consequently, one of the good permanent plants, 
welcomed by all with delight and pleasure every year as the hopeful spring comes round. It 
was awarded a First-Class Certificate by the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural 
Society, and the engraving on the following page is a true representation of the plant. We 
have many extracts eulogising this wonderful sweetly-scented Primrose. Is. and 2.v. each,
