Primrose Sieboldii 
POLY ANTHA PRIMULA (Continued) 
red shade with a star center, and the bloom has an 
indescribable velvety sheen. It flowers early, and pre- 
sents an enchanting picture when grouped with the 
light blue polyanthus. Each $1.00. 
SEEDLING POLYANTHUS PLANTS, trom especially 
selected seed, strong, vigorous, and ready for their 
permanent location. Available in either June or Octo- 
ber. Mixed colors, doz. $1.50. 
AURICULA 
The AURICULA is almost as popular as the polyanthus. It 
is an Alpine plant requiring lime, some shade and good 
drainage. It is happiest in a moraine, but a rockery with 
a north exposure is very satisfactory. We suggest sharp 
sand and rock chips around the roots and crowns of the 
plant, when grown in the border. It blooms from April till 
June and again in the fall. From neat rosettes of thick grey- 
green leaves, spring fleshy stems supporting large clusters 
of flowers. The colors include yellow, light brown, blue, 
henna, plum, purple, rose and pastel tones. It is unusually 
effective in small flower arrangements. Each 50c; plants of 
extra fine form and color, each $1.00.
