PRIMULA (Primrose) Certain varieties of this plant are tender 

 while others are hardy and give- fine satisfaction in the open gi-ound, 

 preferably in rich soil and partial shade. 



Malacoides (Baby Primrose) [tP-16 in.] A favorite for growing 

 outdoors in mild climates and one of the best Primroses for potting.

Hardy Varieties [hP-R-6 in.] In early spring these Primroses pro- 

 duce handsome rosettes of leaves from the centers of which rise 

 lovely velvety flowers in a rich assortment of colors. They delight 

 in a rich soil but do best in partial shade. They are treasures in a 

 rock garden or in a low permanent border.

 and maroon with enveloping leaves Pkt. 25c

 tlie Buttercup family bears large semi-double flowers, sometimes 

 two inches across. Above the compact plants, the lovely blossoms 

 are borne on erect stems. The colors, in shades of yellow, orange, 

 and red, are very attractive in the hardy border during the late 

 spring and early suramer.

Regal Lily (See Lilium regale) 



RHODANTHE (Everlasting) [hA-12 in.] One of the most charming 

 and graceful of the straw flowers. The plants are delicate in form, 

 and many slender stalks ringed with light green clasping leaves 

 carry numerous attractive blossoms. These look like drooping bells 

 until they are fully expanded, when the outer petals form broad, 

 starry discs exposing golden centers. In the open they are highly 

 decorative, and they make good winter bouquets when dried slowly 

 in a cool place.
