This precious acquisition is already in great favor with its lucky possessors. It is, indeed, one of the most brilliant flower- ing plants known, specimens having been shown measuring 30 inches across and carrying more than 300 flowers open atone time. These are of large size and of a bright, carmine red, and not only do they appear in the spring, but also most abundantly in the autumn. It is an elegant plant for jardinieres also, and can therefore be highly recommended, especially since it is of the easiest management. To such high recommendation we scarcely need add a word. We have grown the plant ourselves for two years and are highly pleased with it. Grown indoors in a shady place, the colors of its leaves and flowers are even brighter than" in the open ground. It begins to bloom when only in 2-inch pots, and may almost be said to flower forever afterwards. At the recent, grand, inter- national exhibition at Ghent it received very many favorable comments. We are glad to be the first to offer "it in this country. 20c. each ; 12 for $ BABY PRiriROSES. This Primula has been grown by us for three years as a cut flower, and found very profitable, small spikes readily bringing $2 per 100. As a single plant produces over 200 flow- er spikes in a season, even in cool rooms, it ought to prove an ex- tremely profitable in- vestment. The flowers are of small size and graceful; color is a del- i icate rose with white ' eye. They remain fresh in water for 4 weeks. Plants commence to I bloom even when one inch high. It is the I most fashionable flow- | er in Philadelphia to- ! day and greatly ad- mired by everyone.
