PRIMULA (Prim'-eu-la)—Primrose

praise of the primrose. Nothing is more 
lavish with its bloom nor more varied in

LAINFBS NURSERY 
PRIMULA AURICULA _ 
Evergreen Primrose 
In the Auricula we have a primrose that may 
be grown with no protection whatever in 
any part of tire country. The broad fleshy 
leaves are evergreen and may often be seen 
encaked in ice in our beds but when the ice 
is gone they are as firm as ever. In some 
varieties the leaves are coated with a silvery 
bloom that adds greatly to their charm. The 
sweetly scented flowers come in a wide 
range of colors. They bloom both spring and 
fall asking only a rich, moist soil in sun 
or shade. A situation affording light shade 
from the noon-day sun suits them best. We 
are offering a few named sorts from our 
large collection of imported varieties this

division and guaranteed true to name.
