Primula Obconica 
(4000 Seeds per 142 02.) 
Most showy of all winter pot plants. Tho contact with the 
Obconicas is irritating to the skin of some, the demand for its seed 
seems to be increasing. We are growing all our Obconica seed here 
at West Chicago this season. A large part of our stock consists of 
a large flowered strain of Fasbenders Red. This is not only the 
finest red available but its color is by far the most called for. A 
June sowing of Obconicas will, in a 48-50° temperature make fine 
4-5 in. pot flowering plants by mid or late winter. Our seed stock 
early in May looks favorable for a crop.

The demand for white flowers is reflected in the popularity of this 
color in Malacoides Primula. 
pawns Malacoides 
(12,000 seeds per 32 oz.) 
This is an indispensable class for any retail business. 
While specialists recommend sowing in May for early winter use. our final sow- 
ing is made in Sept. for spring flowering. They are particularly fine for combinations for which the Sept. sowing should be grown on in 
small pots. The earlier sowings for larger specimens should be summered out doors.
