I'ANTALOONS. 
GOLDEN GEM (YELLOW HOSE-IN-HOSE)— A very uncommon variety, altliough before the 
rase for Verbenas and Zonal Pelargoniums it was generally giown. 2s. each 
WHITE HOSE-IN-HOSE— AVith yellow centre ; very similar and scarce, strong grower, very 
distinct. 2s. each 
GALLIGASKINS— One of the most curious forms to wliich the Primrose and Cowslip are liable, 
liibs of the calyx tube are prominent and crisped, and the segments of the calyx are developed into 
large foliaceous blades crisped or curled on the margins. Vei-y rarely met with ; also known as Curled 
Cowslips. 4s. each . , . 
PANTALOONS— No doubt originated from the Cowslip, and when planted in a bed their 
beautiful bright colours are one of the gayest sights in the spring and early summer. 5s. 6d. each 
THE OLD BLUE POLYANTHUS. 
PRIMULA ELATIOR CiERULEA (LADY OF THE LAKE)— 
Perhaps of all the distinct old kinds none is more needed and sought 
after than this, for it is really a blue of a most pleasing bright colour, 
and for bedding a gem of the first water. We are looking forward for 
one of the choicest and most effective beds on our lawn perhaps ever 
seen. Is. 6d. each 
ZULU KING— Perhaps this flower is the nearest approach to black, 
and probably none more effective in the garden, for, independent of its 
intensely dark and rich colour, its flowers are so full and bold that it 
brings one almost to believe that at some time or the other it must 
have been a cross with the Polyanthus and Auricula ; at all events it 
is a charming kind. Plants, 2s. 6d. each ; seeds, 2s. per packet.
