ELLIS BBO THE US' CATALOGUE. 5. PRIMULA (PRIMROSES) Forbesi (the Baby Primrose). We pronounce this one of the most valuable plants for flower lov- ers introduced for years, and that it is one of the most profitable plants to grow for cutting. It be- gins to bloom in thumb pots, when the leaves are scarcely two inches high, and continues to bloom for ten months in succession, the plants soon forming dense clumps of foliage crowded with dozens of long flower spikes. The blossoms are very dainty and graceful, not quite one-half inch across, of a most pleasing rose color, with eye or center of pale gold. They are carried in tiers, on erect but delicate stems, twelve to fifteen inches long, and positively remain fresh for two weeks after being cut. It is unequalled in keeping quali- ties by any other cut flower that we know of. We must add to all this that the plant grows vigorously and without petting, in shade or in sunshine—even in a cool house—and that many will carry one hun- dred flower spikes, and more, during the season.

' Can be planted in open ground in summer and potted again in fall. (See cut.) Price 15 cts. Chinese Primrose (single). This flo- rists' flower is held in great esteem, and is one of the most desirable winter blooming plants, flowering during the winter and sprin
