Primrose Sieboldii 
ASIATIC PRIMULAS 
DENTICULATA CASHMERIANA. An old favorite, orig- 
inally brought from the Himalayas. Beautiful lavender, 
heliotrope-blue and white florets, close set, on stout stems. 
The flowers develop ahead of the grey-green serrated foli- 
age. Mossy, grey rocks make a harmonious background 
for this vigorous Primula. Mixed colors only. Sold out till 
July 1, 1946. 
CAPITATA MOOREANA. Like Denticulata, a native of 
India. The fragrant heliotrope-blue flowers of this Primula 
blossom in late Summer. The under surface of the bright 
green, dentate foliage, as well as the stem, is covered with 
a white meal. The flowers are bell shaped and are set 
loosely. It requires ample shade and water. In our locality 
it has bloomed from late Spring through Summer into 
late Fall. 
CHIONANTHA grows in Northern Yunnan. The fragrant 
ivory flowers grow on 12-inch stems, covered with a golden 
meal. The strap-like leaves are light green. It blooms in 
early Spring and thrives in a cool, rich, but gritty soil. 
Available July 1, 1946. 
FLORINDAE. A moisture loving giant from Tibet, carrying 
enormous trusses of fragrant yellow blossoms on 3-foot 
stalks. Blooms during mid-summer. The heart-shaped, 
cordate foliage is most distinctive and effective garden 
material. Sold out till September, 1946. 
MICRODANTA, var. alpicola, is also a native of Tibet, and 
is a more refined form of Florindae. The foliage is smaller, 
the flowers are a delicate moonlight yellow. Planted near 
Capitata Mooreana, it is a garden poem. Available Sep- 
tember, 1946. 
FRONDOSA. A miniature Primula from Thrace. Its tidy, 
farinose rosettes bear star-like, lavender-blue flowers. 
When this Primrose is planted in fairly large drifts in the 
rock garden, where it will get plenty of moisture, yet suffi- 
cient drainage in winter, it offers a delightful picture. 
ROSEA. A low-growing Primrose with bright carmine 
flowers. It thrives in very rich soil, in lower parts of the 

rock garden, or at the edges of pools and 
| streams. It is especially beautiful when plant- 
ed wih a background of Denticulata. Avail- 
able July, 1946. 
| Any one of the seven above listed Asiatics, 
| pkt. 50c. 
SIEBOLDII. Handsome and delicate appear- 
ing, but very hardy, being a native of Central 
Siberia, as well as Japan. The lovely, soft, 
/ crumply foliage, and the fine fringed flowers 
' on 10 to 15-inch stems, make beautiful flower 
arrangements. Flourishes in cool, rich, light 
soil, light enough to permit its creeping habit. 
A winter mulch that can be removed in 
Spring, will help to keep the ground mellow, 
and will make unnecessary the early culti- 
vation, which might destroy some of the new 
growth before it shows above the ground. 
Our seed is selected from pure white, shell 
pink, orchid, deep rose, and the bluish laven- 
der varieties — Dora and Southern Cross. 
Mixed colors only, pkt. $1.00.
