NOVELTY. 
I Carters Oak I oaf. — This variety marks 
a decided step forward in the cult of the 
Primula. Its deeply laciniated foliage 
makes it appear at all times an object of lightness, gracefulness, 
and beauty, being in strong contrast to the majority of Primulas. 
The flowers. which are of a rich rose-pink colour, are firmly 
fixed in the calyx, the truss being carried well above the foliage 
on a stiff stem, making it by nature of its lightness invaluable 
for all decorative work, especially for table. 
5005 Carters Giant Coral.— This Giant Primula is the result of a 
cross between Princess May and Holbom Salmon. The trusses 
ot rich coral red flowers of immense substance and size, with a
