DOWN THE PRIMROSE 
PATH 
Primula - Hardy Primrose 
The Primrose is a splendid plant for 
naturalizing near shrubs or shaded nooks 
and moist places on the rockery. Prim- 
roses are not at home in the open her- 
baceous borders, but thrive in sheltered, 
lightly wooded places, where they may 
grow among the Violets, Hepaticas and 
Bloodroot. They generally establish 
themselves in damp and shaded posi- 
tions which are generally most difficult 
to fill. Perennial. 
®1032 CASHMERIANA. Large purplish 
blue flowers in globe-shaped clusters. 
Foliage beautiful. Thrives in moist 
loam having good drainage; prefers 
a half-shaded situation. Blooms early. 
8 to 12 inches high. Pkt., 35c, 
®1083 CORTUSOIDES. Broad soft foli- 
age in a rosette close to the ground. 
Flowers in early summer, deep rose; 
prefers light, rich, well drained soil, 
in a half-shaded position in the bor- 
der or rockery. 6 to 10 inches high. 
Pkt., 25c.

Polyanthus 
(Bunch Primrose) 
Showy, free-flowering perennials that 
should be used largely in borders, wild 
gardens and rockeries. If your soil is 
light and dry and you have no shaded 
situations, do not try to grow the true 
Primroses as offered above, but confine 
your efforts to the Polyanthus that we 
list below. The Polyanthus or Bunch 
Primroses will thrive in full sun if they 
have some moisture at the root, if not, 
they must be given the comfort of par- 
tial shade.

derful improvement in perennial Scabi-

two and a half inches across with 
short, compact petals, borne on long, 
slender, but strong stems. We offer

SEDUM 
Sedums vary in habit from the dwarf 
creeping varieties to those of upright 
growth. Some are evergreen and others 
of a deciduous growth with more or 
less fleshy leaves. The dwarf kinds are 
used as edgings on rockeries and dry 
walls and are especially suitable for hot, 
dry situations.
