Chint'se PnmroHes arc amoiig our fincut winter and spring blooming pot plants for the window
garden, conservatory and greenhonse. Tlie plants are attractive, 8 to 12 inches hi(j:h, of healthy,
sturdy growth, and free from insects ; while they produce for weeks large trusses of flowers, which, in
our new Giant varieties, average from 4V-j to 6 inches in circumference. Seed sown in the spring pro-
duces fine plants for the next winter's blooming. The varieties offered below we have selected from
the best Giant strains procured by us from specialists in England, France and Germany, and were
grown toperfection in our own greenhouses for comi)arison. AVhat we catalogue is strictly the cream,
and fanciers will find them all of surpassing excellence.

"I bought seeds of you last year and my flowers
have been the admiration of all that hare seen them.
My Primroses are the handsomest 1 ever saw any-
where. My friends say they will buy from no other
£rin after this."
MTSS MAGGIE V. ALBRIGHT. Durham, N. C.
" The Primula Obconica Hybrids bought of you
last year grew Btrong plants with blooms superior to
those exhibited at the Philadelphia Chrysanthemum
Show last fall."
MARGARET B. WIGGINS, Wrightstowa, Pa.
These magnificent plants bear very
large trusses of very double, fringed
flowers, almost as large as Carnations.

" Our Primulas from yon last year were SUPERB
— the best I ever had."
LEVI A. LOVELAND, Florist, Newark, N. T.
"Before closing, I want to commend your Prim-
rose seeds. From a paper I obtained fifty plants and
they are doing finely. One of the Fern-leaved has its
first blossom, which is considerably larger than a
silver dollar and seems grotesquely out of place on
such a little plant."

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
