own, only surpassed when up come the 
4 to 6 inch scapes, carrying from 3 to 6 
large blossoms of soft rose, with a solid 
**ound eye of white meal at their throat. 
31.00 each. 
Primula Veris 
*clusiana—Another very rare species from 
the high Austrian Alps, where it grows 
on the high limestones. Very easy in 
the garden in an open position, with a 
soil that is light and well drained, and 
which is composed of peaty loam mixed 
with sand and limestone chips. Makes 
nice rosettes of glossy, pointed leaves

mine with a white center, on 2 to 4 inch 
stems. 75c and $1.00 each. 
*marginata — Lovely rosettes of grey 
toothed leaves, edged with white, and 
handsome trusses of lavender-blue flow¬ 
ers, deliciously scented, on 6 to 8 inch

be planted in the wall or in crevices be¬ 
tween rocks, so that plants may hang 
down. Still very rare. $1.00 each.

sembles Primula farinosa in both foliage

mauve pink flowers in early spring. 75c

months. Glossy tufts of foliage and clear, 
deep pink flowers on 8 inch stems, which

species has been confused with P. cort- 
usoides, with which it has nothing to do.

which are scalloped, and heads of flow¬ 
ers in almost every conceivable design 
of fringing segment. It likes a cool, rich, 
light soil and blooms during the sum¬ 
mer months. The large flowers are borne
