In this folder we list only our newest and very choice plants; 
we have many others. Every year we raise new Primulas 
from seed, and select such as are distinguished in type, color 
shading or fragrance for propagating purposes. In this list are 
a number of such new and striking Primulas, of which we have 
a very limited stock. 
Any information you would like as to planting and caring for 
our plants will be gladly given upon request.

PRIMULA 
Primroses do best in a rich loamy soil and prefer a partly 
shady location, especially with some protection from the after¬ 
noon sun. 
They are perfectly hardy but should be protected by branches 
and leaves during zero weather. 
Primroses, having a wonderfully varied coloring and type 
of growth, rank amongst the foremost plants for the rock 
garden, and by using the different varieties the blooming 
period is prolonged to ten months in this locality. The best 
known and perhaps the greatest favorite of them all is P. 
Acaulis or common Primrose of our grandmothers’ gardens 
which has now been hybridized into the most glorious color 
range running from blue through violet, magneta, red and 
orange to various shades of yellow, mostly self-colored. 
The newer types include such interesting varieties as 
Mooreana with its lovely round heads of Tyrian purple with 
the fragrance of heliotrope, blooming from summer until frost; 
Florindae with its large umbels of citron yellow on three-foot 
stalks with oriental fragrance, and the lovely bog loving Juliae 
with its dark crisp leaves and deep rose flowers 2 inches high. 
This gives one little glimpse of the wonderful variety of the 
species, of which there are several hundred. 
Our plants are all field grown and receive no protection ex¬ 
cept in extremely cold weather, consequently they are as hardy 
as it is possible to have any plant. 
PLANTING PRIMULAS 
When you receive plants remove any wilted leaves or flowers 
and stand the roots in water for several hours before planting 
and keep well watered for several days, taking care in planting 
that the roots are not doubled and have the soil firmly placed 
around them.
