Primula Malacoides 
This new race of Primroses from the 
mountains of China has proven most pro¬ 
fuse-flowering for pot culture. The plants 
form rosettes of light green leaves from 
which numerous wiry stems—8 to 10 inches 
in height—gracefully carry whorls of flowers 
H to % of an inch across. They are easily 
grown from seed and commence flowering 
in about 4 months from sowing and con¬ 
tinue to bloom in increasing profusion for 
many weeks. A cool situation indoors or 
in the conservatory suits them to perfection.

" The'Primula Malacoides seed that I pur¬ 
chased from you last spring turned out most 
beautifully and my pla7its this winter are 
simply magnificent." 
Mrs. M. H. TEBBS, Leesburg, Va. 
Primula Obconica Gigantea 
These “Ever-flowering Primroses” are 
favorite pot plants for house and conserva¬ 
tory. The Chinese Primroses will have.to 
look to their laurels for this new giant 
Obconica race is looming up in size of 
flowers, many of them measuring 1inches 
across, equalling in dimensions those of 
their Chinese rivals, with the added merit 
of being easier grown and having a longer 
duration of bloom. Several colors in 
mixture, white, crimson, rose, violet, lilac, 
pink-eyed sorts, etc. Pkt. 25c. 
"My Primroses arc the admiration of every 
one who sees them and some of my friends will 
send to you for the seed." 
Mrs. D. C. CLARK, Puyallup, Wash. 
Giant Star Primroses 
(Primula Stellata Hybrida Gigantea) 
This distinct and beautiful type should 
be better known, for it is an unrivaled 
winter and spring flowering pot plant and 
for table decoration unique and effective. 
The attractive dark foliage on purple stems 
makes a striking contrast to the innumer¬ 
able star-shaped flowers borne in graceful 
pyramidal clusters. The flowers of this 
new type are much larger than the old type 
Stellatas and of greater substance.
