PHOTOGRAPH OF ONE OF OUR HOUSES OF PRIMULAS 
AT FOREST HILL. 
To bring a Florist’s Flower to the highest 
state of perfection, there are many operations 
that have to be carried out by skilled hands, 
quite unknown to the purchaser of the packet 
of tiny seeds. This photograph illustrates 
the act of cross-fertilising two varieties of 
Primulas in order to obtain something new. 
It was by this process that we produced our 
magnificent new variety King Edward, as illustrated on page 1 of the cover. 
Sister Mary writes in 1903: — “The Primulas have been very beautiful. The gardener from the Castle 
asked where I obtained the seeds, as he had never seen so fine a strain.”
