No. 1074. Carters’ Bouquet Primula.— Wc have during the last half-century conducted a 
number of experiments each year in the cross fertilisation of hlorists’ blowers, and amongst 
others Primula sinensis has received a large share of attention. About ten years a^ a 
curious form presented itself as the result of our efforts, in the shape of the type which 
produces its flowers directly from the base or stool of the jrlant in the ntanner of the coition 
Primrose, and these flowers being surrounded with a leafy calyx, in which they remain fixed 
for a long time, it was suggested that the form might become valuable as a button-hole nower. 
In addition to this peculiaritv, the plant, as growth advances, throws up a centre stem in whicli 
several of these tightly fixed flowers appear, being surrounded with a crested leafy growth. 
We introduced this novelty last year, and we shall hope later on to hear what purchasers think 
of its peculiar properties. We have harvested a fine lot again for our present season s supply. 
In sealed packets, price is. 6d., 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., and 5s.
