Primulas are treated as green-house annuals. Pkt., $ PRIMULA, Fimbriata Cristata Nana Alba. A highly interesting and entirely distinct variety of French origin.

Its charming snow-white flowers, with a pale yellow-eye, are dentated, and show a tendency to become double. This Primula comes nearly always true from seed. Pkt. of 10 seeds, 50 cts. PYRETHRUM, Aureum Selaginoides. All the Pyrethrums are valuable bedding plants, for edging and ribbon beds.

Pkt., 25 cts. SALVIA, Farinacea. A new first-class, branching shrubby plant 3 feet high, suitable for the green-house as well as for summer bedding, of a habit similar to the Salvia Splendens.
