NOVELTY. — Much larger and more free-flowered 
than the type. The beautiful clean 
soft rose blooms have an almost circular outline, which greatly 
adds to the value of this variety as a decorative plant. This 
beautiful Primula is not by any means a difficult subject to culti- 
vate. The seeds hould be sown in succession, making, say, three 
sowings during July and August, in finely sifted soil, and kept 
moist until thoroughly germinated. A cool shady frame kept 
close is the best place in which to raise the seedlings, gradually 
giving more air as the seedlings grow. A cool pit or frame is 
the very best place until November, when the plants may be 
placed on a shelf in a cold house, and not kept too moist, as 
damping is very liable during the dull months. As soon as the

Award of Merit slight feeding of manure may be given.

NOVELTY. 
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. The individual blooms are 
creamy white and have a pale rose centre, which gives a 
very light and pleasing effect.
