CANNELLS’ NEW DECORATIVE PRIMULAS. 
The varieties we now have the pleasure of placing before our esteemed patrons, called “ Cannells New Decoraliye. Primulas, are the result of careful 
and judicious cross fertilising with the Lady section and various varieties of the Sinensis section. Having become hxed m character, we offer them with 
every confidence that they will be found to come true and satisfactory from seed. Growers, however, of this new class must not be mistaken m thinking 
they will come like the old type of Primnlas-i.e., producing large, liimpy-looking circular flowers, carried m a most unnatural manner ; but in coutr^t, 
their blossoms are of medium size, and produced on a spike that has three to four tiers or whorls, and carried in a m^t graceful and aisthetic manner. They 
continue in bloom for months, and their culture is very easy and safe, forming into elegant-shaped plants, with a profusion of flowers, (piite in contrMt to the 
older kinds-in fact, creating wonder and astonishment by their floriferousness. ■ iVs a decorative plant for the greenhouse and conservatory we claim them 
to be a decided acquisition. They are well worthy of a trial, and certain to give entire satisfaction.
