Primula • Hardy Primrose 



In the Hardy Primroses, %\ c have most charm- 

 ing and useful spring-llowering subjects. The 

 Primroses are best suited to the rock-garden, but 

 are quite at home grouped iu protected nooks in 

 the hardy garden or edging shad\- borders. A 

 rich soil and a hght mulch during the summer are 

 recommended. As the majt)rity of varieties 

 flower in early spring, the best results are ob- 

 tained from early lail [jhinting. A pr<itcction of 

 leaves or any liglit material will bring them 

 through winter in safety .
