Primula Sinensis. 
Chinese Primrose. 
Many persons seem to think Primulas are 
successfully propagated only in a green house, 
hence we find amateurs often reluctant to at¬ 
tempt their culture. They are unequalled as 
winter bloomers, easily grown if the right con¬ 
ditions are observed, and give a succession of 
flowers throughout the season, and are prized 
for both beauty and their delicate fragrance.

Star Primula. 
Primula 
Stellata Hybrida 
Many of the blooms 
are equal in form and 
purity of color to those 
of the Chinese Prim¬ 
ula, and, as they last 
longer and the plants 
can be much more eas¬ 
ily grown, they de¬ 
serve to be widely cul¬ 
tivated. Of the seed 
now offered, the mix- 
ture contains seven 
charming and distinct 
colors. Pkt., 100 
seeds, 8 cts. 
The Mexican 
Primrose. 
The superb colors, 
combined with airy 
grace and a beautiful 
form goes to make a 
flower which is almost 
perfection. The plant 
seldom grows over ten 
inches in height, but 
. inclines to a trailing 
habit, sweeping its 
branches out over the 
ground, or drooping 
out over the sides of 
the pot, holding its 
large silky flowers 
erect; as a window 
plant it combines 
great hardiness and 
ease of culture with 
unrivaled beauty and 
profusion of bloom. 
In the open ground it 
grows freely and pro¬ 
fusely; will thrive well 
under Any and all con¬ 
ditions and bloom the 
year round in pots or 
during spring,summer 
and fall in the garden.
