Auriculatae Section 
These are the most marsh loving of all 
primula but must have good drainage. They 
grow in clumps with clusters of little leaves 
from which rise flower stalks of from 4 to 12 
inches, topped by a graceful umbel of rather 
flat blossoms. 
Rosea Grandiflora — Tufts of small glossy 
leaves with large fiery carmine-pink flow¬ 
ers on 4 to 8-in. stems, appearing in early 
spring before the foliage. Likes a rich, 
moist soil and plenty of sun. Dainty and 
exquisite. 50c. 
Candelabra Section 
Whorls of flowers at intervals on tall 
stalks ending in an umbel; good moist soil 
with drainage and part shade. Will also grow 
in sun, but fade quicker. 
Aurantiaca— A fine litle deep orange can¬ 
delabra with dark stems, very pretty and 
sturdy. 75c. 
Bulleyana —Very vigorous with flower stalks 
up to 3 feet in height. Deep orange yellow. 
35c. 
Chungensis — Orange flowers with yellow 
center. 50c. 
Pulverulenta Choice— We can supply mixed 
in delicate pastel shades of coral red, sal¬ 
mon, apricot and flesh. Nothing more 
attractive among the Candelabras. 50c. 
Capitata Section 
Mooreana —This is the best known primula 
of the section. From the attractive rosette 
of low lying bright green leaves the flower 
stalks rise to a height of 8 to 12 inches and 
carry a rounded compact many flowered 
head of Tyrian purple flowers with a de¬ 
licious heliotrope fragrance. Blooms from 
September until frost. Does not object to 
a moderate amount of sun. 50c. 
Cortusoides Section 
Sieboldi —The lovely delicate flowers of this 
primrose from Japan are quite robust and 
hardy. The large flower heads are held 
well above deeply waved lush green foli¬ 
age; colors rose, pink, lavender and white. 
It likes a cool position in good loamy soil 
in half shade, and, as it dies down below 
the surface in winter its position should 
be marked. It blooms from May on and is 
one of the most beautiful specimens. In 
mixed colors 50c. 
Petiolaris Section 
Winter! —A most beautiful primrose from the 
Himalayas. The leaves are large and crin¬ 
kled and toothed at the edges, and covered 
with a white meal. The flower scape is 
short and thick, topped with a large head 
of exquisite lavender flowers with fringed 
lobes. They generally flower in February 
or earlier. It is a glorious sight when in 
full bloom. It is absolutely hardy so long 
as moisture does not settle in the cabbage¬ 
shaped bud that forms at the end of the 
past season. It likes a deep rich moist soil 
in rather more than half shade, and if 
covered by a frame of glass during the wet 
weather will thrive and bloom for years. 
$2.50. 
Sikkimensis Section 
Have clusters of long toothed leaves and 
umbels of graceful drooping flowers on long 
stalks. They need shade, except in very 
moist climates, and a moist situation with 
good drainage. 
Florindae —An especially vigorous primula 
bearing large trusses of pendulous blos¬ 
soms on 3-ft. stalks with as many as 100 
individual blossoms to a truss. Color bright 
yellow with an oriental fragrance. Blooms 
in summer. 50c. 
Waltoni —Flowers are a glossy port wine 
color, covered inside with white meal. 
Lovely and interesting. 50c.

Dear Sirs: 
Received my primrose plants in fine con¬ 
dition. I don’t believe a leaf was wilted. I 
am greatly pleased with them. Will look for 
the blue in the Spring and if you have any 
other collection in Spring let me know, as I 
may want some more.
