PACIFIC STRAIN OF POLYANTHUS PRIMROSES 
As the Polyanthus group is the most hardy and easiest to grow of all the Primrose family, suc- 
ceeding 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 
Delivery February to End of September 
We now grow from 30,000 to 50,000 seedlings annually from which we select only those which 
meet our standard of quality, and ship them during February and March with flowers on. Later 
shipments up to the end of September are shipped without flowers. In this way we can offer each 
year more and more advanced quality, with wider range of shades and larger flowers as each year 
steps up the progress in breeding. They are the last word in Primroses that money can buy.
