Primula Malacoides “Erikssonii” 
A wonderful strain of “Malacoides,” the result of continued selection 
by Mr. E. Erickson, Riverside, Ill., over a period of years. The 
result is a plant that combines the compact and sturdy growth of the 
Primula Obconica, with the airy, graceful flowering habit of the old 
“Malacoides” type. 
“Wonder Baby.” A beautiful pink. 
“Baby Rose.” Deep pink, some almost red. 
“New Baby.” Near lavender-pink, the strongest grower with the 
largest flowers. 
“Baby Doll.” A new deep pink with frilled flowers, very stiff stem, 
real fancy. Large lasting blooms. 
“Baby Alba.” A pure white beauty—the first white sport from 
Primula Erikssonii in 18 years. Exceptional for use in combina- 
tion work. Any of above:
