Chinese Primroses 
are among our finest 
winter and h p r i n g 
bloom I ng pot plan t h for 
the wlndo w gn rden .con¬ 
servatory and green¬ 
house. The plants are 
attractive, 8 to 12 
Incliee high, of healthy, 
sturdy growth, and free 
freon insects; while they 
produce for w<*eks large 
trusses of flowers, which, in 
our new Giant varieties, 
average from 4V& to fi inches 
in circumference. Seed sown in 
the spring produces fine plants for 
the next winter’s blooming. The 
varieties offered below we have selected 
from the best Giant strains procured by us 
from specialists in England, France and Ger¬ 
many, and were grown to perfection in our own 
greenhouses for comparison. What we catalogue 
Is strictly the cream, and fanciers will find them all of surpassing excellence.
