WHOLESALE LIST FOR FLORISTS. LANDSCAPERS AND NURSERYMEN 
Primula ' PilMlcse 
For hillsides and rock gardens in semi-shady locations there is absolutely 
nothing that will create the lovely show that the Primulas produce. These 
plants are now obtainable in practically every color imaginable. Soon 
after the snow and cold weather disappear Primulas come into flower and 
their beauty is very hard to describe, especially the new varieties. On 
roadside stands or in plant stores while these are in flower, they need no 
sales argument. They sell themselves at sight. We have here an assort- 
mnt that covers everything that is worthy in Hardy Primulas and invite 
your attention to the varieties we list, all at reasonable prices.

The method of shipping is as essential as the growing of the 
plant itself. Unless otherwise instructed, practically all plants are 
forwarded by Railway Express. This is the speediest and most reliable 
service that we know of today, also very economical. 
We have frequent pick-ups daily right from our packing house 
and various trains are met with our shipments. This wonderful ser¬ 
vice, coupled with a good job of packing, assures you of receiving 
your plants promptly and in the best condition.
