PRIMROSES (Primula) 
RIMROSES are among the most popular and best known spring perennials. Massed under flowering 
trees and shrubs, they present a gorgeous picture during March, April and May, and in mild climates, 
they can be had in bloom about ten months of the year. When once the gardener realizes how much 
he gets each returning spring, with comparatively little effort on his part, the tendency is to collect more 
and more primroses. 
larger blooms and a wider color range. 
Especially is this true now, for each year hybridizers are giving us newer types, 
Primroses thrive in a deeply dug, well enriched soil and, if given plenty of water, their blossoming 
period is prolonged. They should be planted where they will be shaded from the hot noonday sun. Decid- 
uous trees and shrubs give excellent protection. Primroses will with stand heavy frosts, but in sub freezing 
weather, they should be protected with a mulch of leaves, peat, straw or evergreen boughs. 
Acaulis and Polyantha Primroses are best known and most popular. 
However, once the Juliae, Sie- 
boldi and the other Oriental types have been ‘‘discovered” by a gardener, they too become just as im- 
portant. Primroses make charming nosegays and exquisite small flower arrangements.
