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. 
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.
