Primula • Hardy Primrose 



In the Hardy Primroses, 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 hardy garden or edg- 

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

 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. 



New and Choice Primroses 



AURICULA. A lovely, fleshy-leaved Alpine species, 

 flowering in large heads of many richly shaded blossoms. 

 Excellent for the rockery or cool, semi-shaded locations. 

 Although quite hardy, they require a light covering in 

 winter.
