A Giant Pastel Polyanthus 
PLANTS. Pansies are the garden favorite for which there 
is no substitute. Whether planted in fall or spring, they 
should produce a profusion of colorful blooms, well into 
late fall. Especially in separate colors, they afford an un- 
usual opportunity for working out exquisite color combina- 
tions, when used as a ground cover for spring bulbs, or for 
mass planting near flowering trees and shrubs. Try them 
where you have had Ferget me-nots. Our Pansies are our 
own reselections of the largest flowered and the finest. 
Under favorable conditions, the blossoms are from 3 to 5 
inches in diameter, and of excellent texture, in superb 
colors and shades, with many ruffled blooms. The plants 
are of good size, sturdy, and have a fine, vigorous root 
system. We spare no effort in our endeavor to produce 
plants of the highest quality. And, over the years during 
which we have been in business, unsolicited letters from 
enthusiastic customers, testify to their success with our 
plants.

PRIMROSES 
HARDY PRIMROSES are among the most popular and best 
known perennials. Massed under flowering trees and 
shrubs in the border, or naturalized in the woodland gar- 
den, they present a gorgeous picture from very early spring 
until well into the summer. In mild climates it is possible 
by selecting varieties with different blooming seasons, to 
have Primroses in bloom the year around. Primulas are 
the perfect material for the SHADY GARDEN. However, 
they thrive equally well in east or north exposures or where 
they are protected from the noonday sun. If planted in 
sunny locations, deciduous trees and shrubs give excellent 
protection. Wherever planted they should have a deeply 
dug, well enriched soil, and should be given plenty of 
water to prolong the blooming period. 
ACAULIS and POLYANTHUS PRIMULAS, and AURICU- 
LAS are most generally grown. However, the gardener 
who has not ‘‘discovered” the ASIATIC types (or ORIEN- 
TALS) such as the CANDELABRA, CASHMERIANA, 
JULIAE HYBRIDS, SIEBOLDII etc., has some interesting 
experiences ahead. Since Primulas come from all over the 
world, it is possible to select from the hundreds of varieties, 
a type suited to almost any climatic condition. When the 
gardener realizes how much pleasure he receives, each 
returning spring, with minimum effort, his tendency is to 
collect more and more primroses. Especially is this true, 
since hybridizers are continuing to produce newer types, 
larger blooms, and wider ranges of colors and shades. 
Because of their lasting quality Primroses are invaluable 
as cut flowers. They make charming nosegays and ex- 
quisite small flower arrangements. 

IOW A—"I just wanted to tell you that the order for primrosesi I sent 
you recently came yesterday and they came through in such fine 
shape. They look as if they had been freshly dug yesterday morn- 
ing.” 
W ASHINGTON—“The plants were in lovely condition, with leaves 
still crisp and flowers fresh, which speaks well for your method of 
packaging.”
