PRIM U LA—Primrose 
Hardy Perennial 
A race of plants little known in America, but forming one of the 
most attractive features of the spring garden. They are perfectly hardy 
in our Michigan climate and once established are as sturdy as our 
oaks. The different varieties range in size from one inch to three feet, 
and in time of blooming from early April until late summer. 
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 moisture 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. 
P. auricula alpina—One of the treasures of the rock gar¬ 
den. The growth is very attractive, forming rosettes 
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 various 
colors and exceedingly fragrant. Our strain is from 
the great Primula specialist in Scotland and com¬ 
prises a wide range of colors. Large, lusty plants...$ .40
