DANIELS’ SUPERB 
FRINGED PRIMULAS. 
ANNUAL POPPIES. 
A brilliant and charmingly effective 
group of hardy annuals of great value 
for garden or shrubbery decoration. 
The single-flowered varieties are es- 
pecially valuable as cut flowers, and if 
cut whon the blooms are just beginning 
to expand, will retain their beauty for 
four or five days. The beautiful Shirley 
Poppy, sown at intervals from early 
Spring to the end of June, will give a 
charming display quite into the Autumn.

The beautiful varieties of Primula sinensis may be sown in March, 
April, May, and June. Great care must be taken to have a well-drained 
pot or seed-pan filled to within half an inch of the top, with sifted leaf- 
mould ; leave the surface rather rough, and sprinkle the seeds thinly upon it. 
The most successful raisers do not cover with soil, but after sowing the 
seed press down the surface tolerably firm, and place a square of glass over 
the pot. Place in a good strong heat, shaded from strong light, and water 
very gently when tho soil becomes dry. 
It is with very much pleasure that 
we offer the grand strains of Primulas 
named below, all of which have been 
specially grown for our retail trade, 
and will give the highest satisfaction. 
The flowers will be found of great 
size and perfect form, combined with 
the most brilliant and charming 
colours, and a habit of plant which 
leaves nothing to be desired.
