1935 INTRODUCTIONS - Gersdorff 
Cistena (S.Dec.) E.E.—A miniature that 
is really good. Pinard yellow with 
deeper throat. Florets are deeper yel¬ 
low than Primulinus species and much 
less hooded. Will hold five to six open 
florets. Fine placement and substance. 
We consider this outstanding in the 
miniatures. Excellent for small con¬ 
tainers and corsage work. L. 1-15c, 
10-$1.00; M. 1-10c, 10-60c; S. 1-5c, 10- 
40c. 
Sunya (S. Dec.) E.—Another very fine 
miniature. Deep rose doree, bases of 
lower petals pinard yellow, effect - a 
light pure red with a soft creamy yel¬ 
low throat speckled light pure red. 
Has brought much favorable comment 
wherever shown. There is no better 
glad for corsage work and small table 
arrangements. L. 1-15c, 10-$1.00; M. 1- 
10c, 10-60c; S. 1-5c, 10-40c.
