VARIOUS PRIMULAS 
PRIMULA, CHINESE GIANT 
A Startling New Chinese, "Dazzler." From Hurst & Son, seed merchants 
and growers of London, England, comes a "really startling novelty 
in flower seeds." It is a Chinese Primrose (Primula Sinensis Fimbriata) 
which the firm has named Dazzler in recognition of its striking and 
unusual color; "orange red," as seen in the setting sun, is suggested 
as the only term that accurately describes it. It is claimed that a 
well-grown specimen will carry well over 20 flowers open at one 
time; also that while handsome under all circumstances, the blossoms 
are especially effective under artificial light. Tr. Pkt.$1.00
