Hardy Primroses. 
A beautiful free-flowering class of hardy plants, which has been highly 
improved of late years, invaluable for Spring gardening. The hybrid varieties 
vary in colour from the palest and most delicate sulphur-yellow, through 
all the soft shades of rose and purple to the most intense and brilliant 
crimson. In a mild season many of the varieties will commence blooming 
in the Autumn and continue through the Winter, but from the beginning 
of April to the middle of May they are generally in full bloom, and present 
a most lovely appearance. A partially shaded border, with a westerly aspect, 
will grow them to perfection in almost any moderately rich soil.
