PRIMULA Continued. 
PRIMULA Malacoides “ President.” 
— We have now raised a wide range of 
forms from the original Primula Mala- 
coides, many of which have become deservedly popular. 
President is a very distinct double variety, being equally as 
free flowering as King Albert, A batch of this beautiful new 
variety suggests the effect of a rosy mist above the profuse clear 
green foliage. Per pkt.. 2/6 
5044 | | PRIMULA Malacoides “ Princess 
| NOVELTY. | Patricia.” — The individual flowers of 
' this seedling are large, but the petals 
being finely divided give a lace-like delicacy to the blooms. 
The colour is brighter than the majority of the Malacoides 
forms, and was greatly admired both by visitors to our Nursery 
and at the Chelsea Shows during 1919. Per pkt., 2/6 
NOVELTY 
CARTERS STELLATA [Star Primula). 
This is both delightful and graceful when in flower, and it makes 
a useful decorative plant on the conservatory stage in spring. Free 
flowering. Treatment for Primula sinensis will suit this species 
well. 
5J46 Fairy Queen ( Duchess Type). We consider this a great 
advance in the Stellata section. The plants are particularly 
robust, bearing large graceful sprays of bloom in the greatest 
profusion. A batch is a splendid sight. The individual blooms 
are creamy white ami have a pale rose centre, which gives a 
very light and pleasing effect when seen in a mass. ( Photograph

5017 Carters Oakleaf.— 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 decorations. Per pkt., 1/6 and 2/6
