HARBINGER ((Gilbert) — Numbers that have been sent out, and the many which have been 
admired year by year, bear no comparison. HarUngcr leaves all white ones far in the rear, in fact it 
is one of those marches past that seldom occurs, consetjuently, one of the good pei’inanent plants, 
welcomed by all with delight and pleasure eveiy year, as the hopeful yjring comes round. It was 
awarded a Tirst Class Certificate by the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society, and tlie

fRl'MULA 
_ (CORTUSOIDES AMCENA.) 
S^^OMPARATIVELY speaking this is a new class of Primula, and since introduced has been' 
Hwg wonderfully improved, in fact the flowers have been made double and in some varieties treble 
the size, therefore they have become nearly as indispensable as Cyclamen, Cinerarias, &c., for 
f reenhouse decoration, and also for the garden, as they are hardy ; in winter they die down to their 
eshy root, and beyond keeping the roots moderately dry they arc no trouble until required to push 
on for flowering, then merely want the protection of a cold greenhouse and potted in the ordinary soiL 
and kept out of doors.
