Greenhouse View—Primula Obconica 
EXPRESSLY GROWN FOR SEED 
An H&S Novelty 
PRIMULA—OBCONICA—GIGANTEA 
WYASTON WONDER 
This variety is undoubtedly the most outstanding Prim- 
ula proauced in recent years. The enormous irusses of 
stiffstemmed, bright crimson flowers, together with its un- 
usually large, crinkly, bright green foliage, places this Prim- 
ula in a class all its own. Visiting seedsmen and _flor- 
ists to our nurseries who have had the privilege of seeing 
this Primula in production unanimously proclaimed it the 
most outstanding development in Primulas to date. The 
individual florets average 2!/) inches across, even those on 
young plants finished in 4” pots. When grown in 6” or 7” 
pans, this variety is of remarkable beauty and effect. The 
highly decorative foliage extends over the rim of the pans, 
completely hiding same, and offers a beautiful foil to the 
immense trusses of surmounting bright rosy crimson flowers. 
This Primula is strictly in a class by itself and sells on sight. 
A sowing made now will furnish you with a money-making 
pot plant for Christmas and later spring sales.

A superb mixture of all of our Giant Primulas, including

color classes. Seedsmen who desire a mixture for resale

find our Spectrum Mixture of unequalled value. The 
kaleidoscope effect of a bench of these Mixed Primulas in 
bloom will appeal to every buyer. The plants sell on sight.

CULTURAL NOTE—Primulas of all species thrive in a 
moderate temperature—50 degrees is about right for 
Obconicas. The seed requires careful handling in 
sowing and should not be covered too deep. Sow 
on a well smoothed surface of a light soil compost and 
barely cover with a mixture of sand and peat in equal 
proportions. Keep in a cool moist atmosphere.
