Primula • Primrose 
This beautiful family unfortunately embraces 
many varieties which do not thrive in our climate. 
As a matter of fact, our summer heat and severe 
PRIMULA, continued 
winters are not favorable to a single variety of the 
Primrose family, and it is rare to find them really at 
home in the border, or even in the rockery.

also be easily grown in pots in a cool greenhouse or 
conservatory, and as a coldframe plant nothing could 
be finer. The colors are most delicate, while the
