The fine old hardy Gold-laced Polyanthus, which blooms about the same 
time as the Primrose, is a great favourite in most gardens, and too well 
known to need any description. The new varieties of Giant and Magenta 
King are very fine, and should be grown by all who are not already 
familiar with them.

Hardy Primroses. 
A beautiful free-flowering class of hardy plants, which has been highly 
improved of late years, invaluable for Spring gardening. The hybrid varieties 
varj' in colour from the palest and most delicate sulphur-yellow, through 
all the soft shades of rose and purple to the most intense and brilliant 
crimson. In a mild season many of the varieties will commence, blooming 
in the Autumn and continue through the Winter, but from the beginning 
of April to the middle of May they are generally in full bloom, and presont 
a most lovely appearance. A partially shaded border, with a westerly aspect, 
will grow them to perfection in almost any moderately rich soil.

of the most brilliant types. The flowers are beautifully formed, of good 
substance, and are almost invariably awarded First Prize wherever 
exhibited.
