Primulas 
SUTTON’S GIANT PRIMULAS 
Single Varieties 
All Primula lovers will desire to have some plants of the Giant sinensis 
varieties, with their massive flowers and handsome foliage. When well 
grown, the plants prove very attractive even before the blooms appear. 
Our Giant White and Giant Pink are undoubtedly the largest and best 
varieties in this section. 
3773. Giant Royal White Per packet 67c 
A wonderfully fine white Prijnula, conspicuous for size, substance, and 
purity of flowers. 
3777. Giant Pink Per packet 67c 
One of the finest Primulas in the Giant section, petals extremely large 
and of great substance. The delicate carmine-pink color is particularly 
valuable for room decoration, and a specimen plant on the table always 
wins admiration. 
3779. Giant Salmon-Pink (Terra Cotta) Per packet 67c 
Flowers symmetrically formed, with petals of great substance. 
3781. Improved Giant Crimson Per packet 67c 
A greatly improved stock. The immense flowers are almost as rich as 
those of Crimson King. 
3749. Dazzler (New) Per packet 67c 
The most brilliant Primula of recent introduction; flowers vivid orange- 
red, set off most attractively by the mid-green foliage. 
POLYANTHUS - Primula veris elatior hybrida 
A far finer display of Polyanthus can be obtained from seed than from 
plants propagated by division. Seedling plants from a February or March 
sowing bloom freely in the early months of the following year; prick off 
the seedlings when large enough to handle and transfer to flowering posi¬ 
tions in autumn. 
3601. Sutton’s Superb Mixed Per packet 41c 
The finest mixed strain of Polyanthus in existence. Our seed is saved from 
the largest flowers of handsome form, and we take special pains to ensure 
as wide a range of color as possible, including brilliant shades of red, 
orange, and bronze, as well as the richest maroons and yellows, and pure 
white. 
3605. Sutton’s Blue-Flowered Per packet 67c 
Very rich coloring. The shade is not fixed, but all the flowers are beau¬ 
tiful, especially when cut and placed in small vases. Seed very scarce. 
3607. Sutton’s Brilliance Per packet 41c 
An exceptionally showy strain, including a large proportion of vivid red 
and orange shades, which are most telling. The colors are so bright and 
unusual that the effect in a bed is quite unlike that generally associated 
with Polyanthus. 
3737. Sutton’s Perfection Mixed Per packet 29c 
A splendid strain of Primrose saved from the finest flowers of the bright¬ 
est shades only. 
3739. Blue-Flowered Per packet 67c 
A valuable and attractive Primrose. After the second year the flowers 
become purplish, and therefore seedlings should be raised every alternate 
year to ensure the rich pure blue color. Seed very scarce. 
PRIMULA SINENSIS 
3761. Reading Blue Per packet 41c 
One of the best blue Primulas; fine upright trusses of flowers. 
HARDY PRIMULAS 
Hardy Primulas are delightful subjects for rock and alpine gardens, and 
some of the newer varieties, such as P. Bulleyana and P. Lissadell Hybrid, 
Red Hugh, are veritable gems in coloring. The family is now so large and 
so variable in time of blooming that it is possible to have different species 
in flower during almost every month of the year, commencing with the 
beautiful P. cashmeriana, which appears with the first sunny days in Feb¬ 
ruary or March. 
3882. Beesiana, Sutton’s Flybrids Per packet 29c 
This strain includes shades of lilac, purple and violet, as well as a wide 
range of buff, orange, salmon, and rich reds approaching scarlet in in¬ 
tensity. Quite hardy and of vigorous growth. 
3885. Bulleyana, Sutton’s Hybrids Per packet 29c 
Including a range of very pretty cream-apricot, pink, and deeper red 
shades. 
PRIMULA MALACOIDES 
3855. Sutton’s Giant Per packet 92c 
A wonderful break in Primula malacoides which we consider to be the 
forerunner of a new type. The rich lilac-pink flowers are borne loosely, 
tier upon tier, on stems often 2 feet or more in height. In size, the blooms 
compare with other varieties of P. malacoides as do those of the Giant 
sinensis with the ordinary varieties of that type. The plants grow freely 
and the grace and beauty of the original species are fully maintained. 
Seed very scarce. 
3859. Sutton’s Brightness Per packet 67c 
In this remarkable variety the flowers are deep rose, closely approaching 
crimson, and of a glistening brightness not seen in any other variety in 
the Malacoides section; under artificial light the blooms are a bright rosy 
scarlet and are unsurpassed for decorative purposes. The plant is very free 
flowering and much above the average in height. Award of Merit, Royal 
Horticultural Society. 
3861. Sutton’s Achievement Per packet 41c 
Flowers considerably larger than those of the type, nicely rounded and of 
a clear pale rose-pink color, thrown up in graceful profusion well above 
the distinctly crested and neat foliage. 
3871. Sutton’s White Queen Per packet 41c 
An attractive pure white form and well worth growing for the contrast it 
affords to the other varieties. 
PRIMULA OBCONICA 
Our greatly improved forms of Primula obconica make a very pleasing 
contrast to the Sinensis varieties; they are quite as easily grown and have 
the advantage of a longer flowering period. From a sowing in the early 
months of the year fine plants may be had in full bloom in the early au¬ 
tumn which will continue to flower throughout the winter. 
383 3. Sutton’s Salmon Queen Per packet 67c 
A very pretty variety, for which we gained an Award of Merit at the 
R. H. S. Chelsea Show. The flowers are quite distinct in color, being of 
that delicate shade of salmon-pink often called shell-pink. The plant is 
extremely free flowering. 
3841. Sutton’s Giant Delicate Pink Per packet 67c 
A lovely flesh-pink variety of Primula obconica, and a color that goes 
well with the pale blue and darker shades. Flowers of great size. 
3839. Sutton’s Giant Pink Per packet 67c 
Charming rose-pink flowers as large as those of Primula Sinensis. 
3845. Sutton’s Blue Per packet 41c 
A distinct advance in color; the large clear flowers tone well with those 
of the pink varieties. 
3847. Sutton’s Giant White Per packet 41c 
The immense pure white flowers enhance the beauty of the crimson, pink, 
and pale blue.
