PACIFIC STRAIN OF POLYANTHUS PRIMROSES 
As the Polyanthus group is the most hardy and easiest to grow of all the Primrose family, succeeding in practically 
every climate, we have concentrated our work on improving this particular type. Our aim is to develop a wider 
and clearer color range, taller stems, and larger size of individual flowers and flower heads. After testing all of the 
important strains in commerce, we spent years of breeding and selecting from some 20,000 seedlings each year. 
We introduced our strain experimentally at the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island, where 
the exhibit, although comparatively small, created such interest that our stock was completely sold out within 
two weeks. This is, perhaps, the best recommendation our strain could have. 
SELECTED PLANTS .... We can supply, during August

SEED ... The seed we are offering is produced by artificial 
cross-pollination from the most outstanding new seedlings 
each year. By this method we can offer a quality which is in a 
class by itself. The production, naturally, is very limited and 
very costly but only in this way can the finest results be 
obtained. The new crop is available by July 1, which is also 
the best time for sowing. We pack approximately 125 seeds 
to a packet which, under reasonably good conditions, will 
germinate within two weeks after sowing. All colors listed 
as per selected plants are available separately or in complete 
mixture.
