MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 
Chinese Primrose-Primulas* & & 
These are probably the most beautiful of all house 
and pot plants. Flowers immense ; from intense scarlet to 
delicate shades of pink and white. The foliage is like a 
beautiful fern, and the perfume is subtle and pleasant. 
Sow seed in a pot and water small plants until they get 
half an inch high, then pot, as they are out of danger. 
Pkt., 30 seeds, 7c. Plants, 15c. each, 2 for 25c. 
(Giant Perfection—New.) 
The flowers of this new strain of Primroses are much 
larger, beautifully fringed, and of far more charming 
colors than those usually sold, in fact, it is the grandest 
strain of these flowers ever grown. 
Pkt., 35 seeds in 15 colors, 10c. 
Chinese Primrose, Snow Queen —30 seeds, 10c. 
Chinese Primrose. Velvet Scarlet —30 seeds, 10c.

Chinese Primrose* (Double Fringed.) 
This magnificent variety has large, double, beautifully 
fringed flowers, white, pink, red, lavender, etc.; very fine, 
indeed. This seed is of the very best quality. 
_Pkt., 25 seeds, 15c. 
Primula Forhesii* & s & 
Dwarf, compact, magenta red. 
A new and interesting color, purplish red, which will be 
found to contrast agreeably with the rather pale color of 
the only other variety extant of this dwarf, compact strain 
of Primulas. Very floriferous and highly commendable 
for greenhouses, apartments, etc. Pkt., 100 seeds. 10c. 
Primula Forhesii* s s s s 
The “ Baby Primrose.” 
Blooms in three months from seed and all the time. 
This. is unquestionably one of the prettiest pot plants. 
It begins to bloom in three months after sowing and con¬ 
tinues to produce flowers for ten monthsin succession. The 
flowers are verv graceful, not quite half an inch across and 
are of a most pleasing rose color with a yellow eve. They 
are borne on erect stems io to 12 inches high, in tiers, and 
remain fresh for over a week after being cut, new lauds 
opening every day. Pkt., 100 seeds, 8 c. 
Mexican Primrose* & & £ 
It is strictly a Perpetual Bloomer. 
It is in flower at all times of the year, a good speci¬ 
men showing from 10 to 30 large saucer-shaped blos¬ 
soms about 3 inches across, superb colors and beau¬ 
tiful form. As a plant for hanging basket or pot it is 
unexcelled. Each blossom keeps perfect many days 
before fading, and when it drops others are out to take 
its place The plant is a free grower, succeeding in 
an v soil or situation, and commencing to bloom almost 
as soon as the cuttings are potted. As a window plant 
it combines great hardiness and ease of culture. In 
Primula Obconica Grandiflora* 
(With Fringed Flowers.)

qualitiesand hardinessthe original Obconica has, onb 
the flowers are twice as large and much handso nei 
in every way—silvery lavender, and slight blush pink 
nearly white. Pkt., 30 seeds, 10c.
