Primula Caslimeriana 
PRIMULA 
This list of Primroses has been selected from 
those hardy varieties that merit consideration 
because of their distinctiveness and dependabil¬ 
ity in American gardens. All Primulas welcome 
a cool, rich soil and resent dry, hot locations. 
We recommend that all seed be sown outside 
as early in the Spring as possible.
