CAPITATA SECTION 
Mooreana —This is the best known primrose of the section.

leaves the flower stalks rise to a height of 8 to 12 ins. 
and carry a rounded compact many flowered head of 
Tyrian purple flowers with a delicious heliotrope frag¬ 
rance. Blooms from Sept, until frost. Does not object 
to a moderate amount of sun... 50

CORTUSOIDES SECTION

decorative for outside cultivation—it is large, crinkly and heav¬ 
ily veined. The flowers are very dainty and are carried well 
above the plant on an 8 to 10 in. stalk. The plants of this 
section, while hardy, are useful for indoor cultivation. Need 
a fair amount of shade. 
Cortusoides — Dentiflora — Lichiangensis — Saxatilis — 
Veitchii —As these primulas are so much alike and are 
so often mistaken for one another, we give no separate 
descriptions. Foliage deeply cut. Flowers delicate laven¬ 
der rose. Very numerous ... 25 
DENTICULATA SECTION 
Leaves are narrow toothed and crinkly and form close 
rosettes of foliage. Flowers are carried on stout stems with

florets hang down.

large blossoms varying in color from lilac-rose to violet
