Vilmorin's Star Primrose Giant Primula Obconica 
Primula, Vilmorin's Improved 
The Star Primroses developed by Vilmorin are splendid eas¬ 
ily-grown window plants, almost as easily grown from seeds as 
a zinnia. The seeds start in about three weeks, and if sown 
in spring plants will be a mass of bloom next winter. Culture 
with every packet. Seeds direct from Vilmorin and sure to 
grow'. Colors : White, Blue, Bright Red, Porcelain, White With 
Blue Eye, Rose With Pink Flakes, Dark Blood-Red, Cream- 
Pink, Carmine Fiery-Red. Separate or Mixed, 5c.

ety ; flowers very large, in rich colors; very freely borne (see

PRIMULA Malacoides Improved Single and Donble. I take 
great pleasure in offering the new Large-Flowered Malacoides 
varieties developed by Vilmorin and described on Page 45 of my 
Flower Book. Fraicheur, lilac ; Superba Rose, are now large- 
flowered varieties. Snowflake white and dazzling red, new 
double flowered, all showy, graceful and beautiful. These are 
all elegant pot plants and bloom in four months. 
Avoid Early Planting. If you want the finest plants and firs, 
plant Dahlias late, say in May or June. Early plants are stunted 
and hardened by hot dry weather while trying to bloom, and are 
inferior in both foliage and firs. While late plants are free and 
vigorous during autumn and delight you with rich foliage and an 
abundance of the finest blooms.
