WOLCOTT NURSERIES 
Each. 
Do not try to compel Primroses to grow in hot, 
sandy places for you will only meet with failure. They 
need at least partial shade and while they enjoy mois¬ 
ture at the roots, they must have good drainage or they 
will rot at the crown. Also be particular when planting 
that' no dirt is left on the crown, as it seems to smother 
them. 
We have found hard coal cinders excellent for drain¬ 
age. In fact, the majority of rock plants seems to like 
cinders mixed with the soil. 
P. auricula alpina —One of the treasures of the rock 
garden. The growth is very attractive, forming ros¬ 
ettes of thick leaves, sometimes farinose or mealy. 
From these rosettes the flower stalks rise to a height 
of six or eight inches, bearing heads of bloom of vari¬ 
ous colors and exceedingly fragrant. Our strain is 
from the great Primula specialist in Scotland and 
comprises a wide range of colors. 
Their native home is in the rocks, where they are 
constantly supplied with moisture at their roots. Give 
them a mixture of peat, leaf mould and sandy loam 
with plenty of stones mixed with it.$ .50

ety with large heads of deep yellow flowers. .50

They were given an AWARD OF MERIT by the 
Royal Horticultural Society in 1916. Colors range 
from cream to many shades of yellow, orange, pur¬ 
ple, lilac, pink and crimson. They are very hardy 
and prefer a half shaded position that is fairly moist- .50
