Planting Primulas 
When you receive plants, remove any wilt¬ 
ed leaves or flowers and stand the roots in 
water in a cool shaded place for several hours 
before planting, taking care in planting that 
the roots are well spread out and have the 
soil firmly placed around them. 
Have the soil deep and rich and the re¬ 
sults will surprise you, as no plants respond 
more freely than primulas to good treatment. 
Plant primulas either in spring or autumn 
when the temperature is not too great, and 
be sure to plant in partial shade which pro¬ 
tects from the afternoon sun. 
Any information you would like as to plant¬ 
ing and caring for our plants will be gladly 
given upon request. 
NEVILL’S SUPERB GIANT PRIMROSES 
We have originated an entirely new strain of polyanthus that is gorgeously outstanding 
in color, size and formation which we call Super-Marvels and are now selling for the first 
time; we are justly proud of them and feel they are a great stride forward in primrose 
culture. The individual flowers are fully 2 inches across and come in the loveliest shades 
of velvety brown, wood brown, tomato red, burgundy, rose, yellow with rose edging, etc. 
Plants are fine and sturdy with leaves more or less ruffled and tall, strong stems. 
We are offering these at $1.00 each and seed at $5.00 per packet of 100 seeds. 
IMPORTANT—-These are gross feeders and should have the soil well prepared before 
planting.
