. The John A. Doyle Company : 1900. Nursery stock Ohio Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Shrubs Catalogs. 28 THE JOHN A. DOYLE COMPANY, THE BABY ....PRIMROSE. (Primula Forbesi.) The Baby Primrose. It is a wonderfully free-blooming plant, commencing to flower as soon as born. It is raised from divisions; also from the seed, though the latter method Is nnadvisable owing to the uncertain and variable character of the seedlings. It forms a dense ro- sette of somewhat fleshy leaves, from which spring the flowering stems, twelve, fifteen and even twenty inches tall, supporting three tiers or whorls ©f dainty flowers of a delicate rosy- lilac, with eye of pale gold. The flow- ers are not more than half an inch in diameter, but they are produced in such great abundance that a few plants presents a dense mass of bloom, which continues without in- terruption and with increasing vigor from Septem- ber until June. The plant then is benefited by a rest; and, having now formed a den^e clump, it is desirable that it be divided and the stock increased thereby, each plant making t n to twelve divisions. As a pot plant it cannot be surpassed. We would advise all our customers to give it a trial; we are confident that its dainty flowers will more than repay you for the expense and trouble. Price. 10 cents each. PRIMULA OBCONICA. Always in Bloom. This is a charming new plant for Winter. In fact, we know of none that is better adapted to home culture than this one.

Price, 10 cents each. OTAHEITE ORANGE. A grand pot plant, and one of great beauty and novelty. It blooms most freely during the Winter, though it is likely to bloom at any and all times of the year. The fruit is about one-half the size of ordinary oranges, and very sweet and delicious. Price, first size, 60c each; second size, 25c
