Pilmula - P\im\cse 
There is no assemblage of plants that will reproduce the lovely show of the 
Primulas on the hill side or rock gardens in semi-shade. They can be ob¬ 
tained in every color and tone that one can imagine. Soon after winter 
gives way to Spring the Primulas come into flower with a beauty that is 
hard to describe. This is particularly true of the newer varieties. Sales 
argument will never be necessary to sell them at the roadside stands or 
the plant store. They are one of those rare articles that sell themselves 
on sight. We invite your earnest attention to the varieties which we list. 
You will find everything that is worthy in Hardy Primulas offered at very 
reasonable prices.

mine them in flower. Slight variations 
may be expected.

better floral arrangements.
