EUROPEAN PRIMULAS 
ACAULIS 
This is the low growing “bunch” type, having a profusion 
of flowers with each bloom on its own individual stem. It is 
early and is very effective when planted in ‘‘drifts’’ in a 
natural woodland setting, or when used in rockeries, or in 
borders. 
P. VULGARIS. The true English primrose. Free flower- 
ing in a soft shade of yellow. Fragrant. 
GIANT FLOWERED. When in full bloom, this luxuri- 
ant plant is a veritable mass of brilliant color. Mixed 
colors. Either of the above: Doz. $2.50. 
The above two varieties sold out till September, ‘44. 
FLORE PLENO 
(Double Primroses) 
The double form of P. ACAULIS. The blossoms resemble 
dainty miniature roses and make especially attractive 
nosegays. Since this variety does not seed, it is propagated 
vegetatively. Consequently the demand always exceeds 
the supply. 
BRIDESMAID. The beautiful white bloom becomes 
faintly tinged with pink as the blossom ages. Each 50c. 
LILACEA. Usually an orchid-lavender shade, but is 
almost pink in some localities. The color is apparently 
influence by soil conditions. Each 50c. 
MARIE CROUSE. Has a handsome lilac colored bloom, 
each petal being bordered with a hairline of white. 
The large flowers have a heavier texture than the other 
doubles and it is the hardiest. Each $1.00. 
SULPHURUM. A rare variety with an intriguing pale 
yellow bloom. It is not quite as hardy as the other 
doubles and cannot stand extremes of temperature. 
Stock limited. Each $1.00. Not available till Septem- 
ber, ‘44.

produce some of the nicest plants and largest flowers I had. I liked 
them very much.” (Taken from a commercial grower’s letter order-

Primula Juliae Hybrid 

Primula Auricula 
POLYANTHA 
This “many flowered” primula has beautiful, large flower 
clusters on tall stems. The ancestors of the modern Poly- 
anthus are probably P. Acaulis and the Cowslip or the 
Oxlip of the European woodlands. When planted in ap- 
proximately such a setting, their beauty is greatly en- 
hanced, and their culture becomes extremely easy. 
MUNSTEAD STRAIN, which is especially desirable for 
mass or border planting where a sequence of yellow 
shades is a primary consideration. 
LORD BEACONSFIELD. Tall stemmed, vigorous, 
early, with beautiful foliage and cream colored blooms. 
Especially adapted to mass planting or naturalizing. 
COWSILIP. Small, bright yellow, nodding flowers. 
Suitable for the wild flower garden. 
Either of these four varieties: Doz. $2.50. 
GIANT STRAIN. The blooms of this strain are unbe- 
lievably large and the colors are most unusual. Under 
proper cultivation the individual blossoms are from 
14% to 2 inches in diameter. The large flower umbels are 
carried on tall, stiff stems, and rise well above the 
dark green foliage, which is in itself beautiful. The 
range of colors and shades is so wide and varied that 
it is difficult to list all of them. Included are tones of 
red from almost black through flame to tangerine: 
orange, gold, yellow to cream and white; burgundy, 
violet, fuchsia, lilac and lavender; from palest pink to 
rose; apricot and many two-toned pastels. In mixed 
colors: Doz. $3.00. Selected colors: Doz. $3.50. Special 
colors: each 50c; doz. $5.00. 
BLUE. This tall polyanthus with shades varying from 
forget-me-not blue to sapphire blue, is constant—it will 
not turn purple the second year. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50. 
PASTELS. Pink, peach, apricot and salmon shades. 
The giant blossoms assume darker tones as the blos- 
som matures. Each 50c. 
COWICHAN. This imported Polyanthus must be prop- 
agated from divisions. It is a deep “American Beauty”
