Plimula 
Hardy Primrose 
For hillsides and rock gardens in 
semi-shady locations there is ab¬ 
solutely nothing that will create 
the lovely show that the Primulas 
produce. These plants are now ob¬ 
tainable in practically every color 
imaginable. Soon after the snow 
and cold weather disappear Primu¬ 
las come into flower and their 
beauty is very hard to describe, 
especially the newer varieties. On 
roadside stands or in plant stores 
while these are in flower, they need 
no sales argument. They sell them¬ 
selves at sight. We have here an 
assortment that covers everything 
that is worthy in Hardy Primulas 
and invite your attention to the 
varieties we list. Many of these were 
very high priced but now it is pos- 
sibe to offer them to you at reason¬ 
able wholesale prices.
