No. 1074. CARTERS’ BOUQUET PRIMULA . — We have during 
the last half-century conducted a number of experiments each year 
in the cross fertilisation of Florists’ Flowers, and amongst others 
Primula sinensis has received a large share of attention. About ten 
years ago a curious form presented itself as the result of our 
efforts in the shape of a type which produces its flowers directly 
from the base or stool of the plant in the manner of the common 
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 flower. In 
addition to this peculiarity, the plant, as growth advances, throws 
up a centre stem in which several of these tightly fixed flowers 
appear, being surrounded with a crested leafy growth. The flowers 
are very large, prettily fimbriated, and of the purest whiteness. 
Per packet, price is. 6d., 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., and 5s.
