New Giant Fringed Primula ©bconica. Mixed varieties, 3 cents per packet 4 packets 10 cents. This is One of the most floriferous and showy of Primroses, and is a superb wmter-blooming plant.

The plants are true perennials, and can be depended upon to bloom in the window for several years. They are as certain to bloom as a Chinese Primrose, and for window culture may be classed with that popular flower. 1 can supply the charming colors, lilac and rose, also
