PRIMULA AURICULA—Evergreen Primrose 
In the Auricula we have a primrose that may be grown 
with no protection whatever in any part of the country. 
The broad fleshy leaves are evergreen and may often 
be seen encaked in ice in our beds but when the ice 
is gone they are as firm as ever. In some varieties the 
leaves are coated with a silvery bloom that adds greatly 
to their charm. The sweetly scented flowers come in a 
wide range of colors. They bloom both spring and fall, 
asking only a rich, moist soil in sun or shade. A situa¬ 
tion affording light shade from the noon-day sun suits 
them best. We are offering a few named sorts from our 
large collection of imported varieties, grown entirely 
from division and guaranteed true to name.
