ASIATIC PRIMULAS (Continued) 
DENTICULATA CASHMERIANA 
An old favorite, originally brought from the Himalayas. 
Beautiful lavender and heliotrope-blue florets, close set, on 
stout stems. The flowers develop ahead of the grey-green 
serrated foliage. Mossy, grey rocks make a harmonious 
background for this vigorous primula. Each 35c; 3 for $1.00. 
PRIMULA DENTICULATA ALBA. Lovely, white flowered 
form of the above. Rare. Stock limited. Each 75c. 
PRIMULA ROSEA GRANDIFLORA. Carmine-pink flowers 
on 8-inch stems, spring from small tufts of glossy leaves. It 
is happiest in very rich, moist locations in the rock garden, 
or at the edge of pools. Each 50c. 
PRIMULA FLORINDAE. A moisture loving giant from 
Tibet, carrying enormous trusses of fragrant yellow blos- 
soms on 3-foot stalks. Blooms during mid-summer. Ea. 50c. 
PRIMULA SIEBOLDII Handsome and delicate appearing, 
but very hardy, being a native of Central Siberia, as well 
as Japan. The lovely, soft, crumply foliage, and the fine 
fringed flowers on 10 to 15-inch stems, make beautiful 
flower arrangements. Flourishes in cool, rich, light soil. 
Available in mauve-pink, in rose, and in white. Each 50c. 
CANDELABRA 
This type is well suited to planting at the edges of streams 
and pools, or among shrubs. It has successive whorls of 
flowers on tall stems. Since its foliage dies in winter, avoid 
situations where a stagnant water condition exists during 
its dormant period, for this condition is likely to rot the 
crown. 
BULLEYANA. From Yunnan, China. The terra cotta 
buds are almost as interesting as are the orange-yellow 
flowers growing in tiers on stems which are often 3 
feet high. This primrose is at its best when planted 
among ferns in moist shade. 
COCKBURNIA. A miniature Candelabra, with cop- 
per-orange flowers. Available in the fall of 1943. Each 
BoC; oor p).00: 
JAPONICA. A sturdy Oriental, ranging in color from 
pale pink through soft pink and rose-pink to cerise. 
Especially useful where a sequence of shades is de- 
sired. 
JAPONICA ETNA. Has a rank growth, with large 
flowers of bright rose-red. Thrives best when natural- 
ized among ferns in sun dappled shade. 
PULVERULENTA. Ranks with the choicest of the Can- 
delabras. Colors vary from pink through soft rose to 
rose-red. The farinose stem identifies this species. This 
is the best variety for planting near pool or stream.

carefully so that they will arrive in good condition.
