PRIMULA FORBESI (or Baby Primrose) 



This is the freest flowering Primula we know of. The

tiny flower stalks when 

 only a few weeks old. 

 These, however, should 

 be pinched off, and the 

 plants kept growing un- 

 til October, when the 

 flowers may.be allowed 

 to develop, and from 

 then on until late in 

 spring they produce their 

 sprays of beautiful rosy 

 lilac flowers in seemingly 

 never-ending profusion.
