ACAULIS 
These durable Primroses bloom before the Polyanthus with a 
scattering of blossoms from fall throughout winter, snow )per- 
mitting. Blooming on individual stems instead of in clusters (although 
at times a short stalk develops) Primroses are extremely floriferous. 
In the springtime each plant is a mound of large star-shaped or 
round blossoms cascading over and around the green rosettes of 
leaves. Like the Polyanthus, these are also hybrid plants, the true 
English Primrose and the Primrose of the Near East being the 

Garden Primrose, P. acaulis 
species. Their charm in small bouquets and corsages is as con- 
tagious as their blithesomeness in the winter and spring garden, and 
each year they seat themselves more firmly in the affections. 
All of the following plants are the result of hand-pollination and, 
unless otherwise stated, are $3.50 a dozen at Barnhaven. Please 
refer to page 28 for postage rates.
