PRIMULA 
MALACOIDES “Improved Erikssoni” 
ERIKSSON’S OUTSTANDING NEW VARIETIES 
Glory of Riverside (Improved). True rose-pink, a strong grower and 
without a doubt, the most valuable variety for all purposes. A real 
pot plant, especially for 6 or 7 inch pot production, here we suggest 
placing three plants to the pot. 
Eriksson's New Giant. Color resembles closely Glory of Riverside. 
Very robust habit, with flower size approximately 1 Vi inches. It is a 
late bloomer, thereby assuring the florist-grower a longer Primula 
season. 
Brilliancy (Eriksson's Deep Red). The flower opens lavender but 
changes to a brilliant red in one or two days in a sunny greenhouse. 
A very attractive and unusual combination, with top flowers showing 
lavender and the rest a brilliant red. 
Eriksson's Pure White (Improved). A real improvement in a pure white 
Malacoides. Flowers profusely on numerous stems, making a good 
sized plant. Germination of seed also greatly improved. The best 
white now available. 
Lilac Beauty. The color is a pure soft lilac, absolutely fixed. This is 
another fine color for making up artistic combinations. 
Peach Blossom. Color a real deep peach blossom pink. It has a 
more compact habit than "Appleblossom," and it is also an excellent 
keeper. 
All of the above priced at: 500 seeds.$1.00 
2,000 seeds. $3.00 6,000 seeds. $8.00 
ERIKSSON’S STANDARD VARIETIES 
New Baby (Improved). An outstanding glowing deep pink, individual 
in color. Large flowered, heavy producer on strong stems. 
Baby Doll. The earliest bloomer. A deep pink with frilled flowers. 
Baby Rose. Good deep pink color with free flowering habit. 
Appleblossom. A true appleblossom pink, very worth while. 
Wonder Baby. Beautiful pink, rather tall but good producer. 
ALL of the above priced at: 800 seeds.$1.00
