DOWN THE PRIMROSE PATH 
Primula - Hardy Primrose 
The Primrose is a splendid plant for naturalizing near shrubs 
or shaded nooks and moist places on the rockery. Primroses 
are not at home in the open herbaceous borders, but thrive in 
sheltered, lightly wooded places, where they may grow among 
the Violets, Hepaticas and Bloodroot. They generally establish 
themselves in damp and shaded positions which are generally 
most difficult to fill. Perennial. 
@994 AURICULA ALPINA, TRIUMPH. The growth is very 
attractive, forming in a rosette, broad, thick foliage. The 
flower stalks rise to a height of 6 to 8 inches, bearing heads 
of bloom of various colors, exceedingly fragrant. Will grow 
in sun or half shade. Protect in winter. In flower during 
late April and May. Pkt., 25c. 
@995 CASHMERIANA. Large purplish-blue flowers in globe- 
shaped clusters. Foliage beautiful. Thrives in moist loam 
having good drainage; prefers a half-shaded situation. 
Blooms early. 8 to 12 inches high. Pkt., 35c. 
@996 CORTUSOIDES. Broad soft foliage in a rosette close to 
the ground. Flowers in early summer, deep rose; prefers 
light, rich, well-drained soil, in a half-shaded position in the 
border or rockery. 6 to 10 inches high. Pkt., 25c. 
@997 VULGARIS. The old English Primrose with pale yellow 
flowers. 6 to 9 inches high. Grows in half shade. Mid-April 
to June. Pkt., 15c; 1/16 oz., 40c; Ye oz., 65c. 
Polyanthus (Bunch Primrose) 
Showy, free-flowering perennials that should be used largely 
in borders, wild gardens and rockeries. If your soil is light and 
dry and you have no shaded situations, do not try to grow the 
true Primroses as offered above, but confine your efforts to the 
Polyanthus that we list below. The Polyanthus or Bunch Prim¬ 
rose will thrive in full sun if they have some moisture at the 
root; if not, they must be given the comfort of partial shade. 
©998 GIANT BRIGHT EYES. A variety distinct because of the 
pleasantly waved formation of the petals. The flowers, rich 
yellow in color, each having a large bright orange eye. Pkt., 
35c. 
@999 GIANT PRIMROSE. This variety has flowers which are 
very much larger than those of the ordinary Polyanthus, 
carried well up on very stout stems. The color is that of the 
common wild Primrose, with a bright orange eye. Giant Prim¬ 
rose reproduces perfectly true from seed. Fkt., 35c. 
@1000 MRS. BERKELEY’S STRAIN. The seed of this strain is 
saved only from the largest flowers having the best form and 
especial pains are taken to ensure as wide a range of colors as 
possible, including brilliant shades of red, orange and bronze, 
as well as the richest maroons and yellows, and pure white. 
Pkt., 25c. 
@1001 MUNSTEAD STRAIN MIXED. This strain of Bunch 
Primroses has been perfected in the gardens of Miss Jekyll 
of England, The flowers show shades of yellow, from cream 
to dark orange. 6 to 10 inches. Late April and May. Pkt., 25c. 
@1002 VERIS. (Cowslips). Mixed shades of yellow, very fra¬ 
grant. 6 to 10 inches. Late April and May. Pkt., 15c.
