Chinese Primrose*Primulas. p^bi? 
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.

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.

Primula Forbesii . 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 months in succession. 
The flowers are very graceful, not quite half an inch 
across, and are of a most pleasing rose color with a yellow 
eye. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c.

* ' imUia rOroeSll. re£ f s a new an( j interest¬ 
ing color. Very floriferous and highly commendable for 
greenhouses, apartments, etc. Pkt., 100 seeds, 70. 
Primula Obconica Grandiflora . 
(With Fringed Flowers.) 
This new variety has the same continuous blooming 
qualities and hardiness the original Obconica has, only 
the flowers are twice as large and much handsomer in 
every way — silvery lavender, and slight blush pink, 
nearly white. Pkt., 30 seeds, 10c. 
Primula Obconica . Pkt., so seeds, 4c. 
Primula Stellata. 
(New.) This very dis¬ 
tinct and valuable va¬ 
riety should be most extensively grown as plants for 
pot culture for the greenhouse or table decoration, as 
well as for use in winter for cut bloom. The pretty 
and attractive star-shaped flowers, form large and 
most graceful pyramids, requires the same treatment 
as the ordinary Primula sinensis , and consequently 
can be grown with it. Height, 2 feet. Pkt., all colors 
mixed, 10c.; pure white, 15c. 
Mexican Primrose. 
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 beauti¬ 
ful form. As a plant for hanging basket or pot it is 
unexcelled. The plant is a free grower, succeeding 
in any 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 the open ground it grows freely and 
blooms profusely. Pkt., 50 seeds, 5c. 
Plants, 12c. each; 3 for 30c.
