Primula • Hardy Primrose 



In the Hardy Primiroses, we have most charming and 

 useful spring-flowering subjects. The Primroses are 

 best suited to the rock-garden, but are quite at home 

 grouped in protected nooks in the hardv garden or edg- 

 ing shady borders. A rich soil and a light mulch cliiring 

 the summer are recommended. As the majority of 

 varieties flower in early spring, the best results are ob- 

 tained from early fall planting. A protection of leaves 

 or any light material will bring them through winter in 

 safety.
