CANDELABRA 
This type is well suited to planting in lower locations in the rock garden, at 
the edges of stream 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. In a wet climate, leaves must be kept 
off the crown in winter. 
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. 
BULLEYANA HYBRIDS. Color range includes yellow, buff, apricot, burnt 
orange, terra cotta. The blooms are larger than those of specie Bulleyana. 
HELODOXA. A very fine, bright yellow candelabra. The flower stems 
grow to about 2 feet and the beautiful foliage is evergreen. It is at its best 
beside a stream. 
JAPONICA. A sturdy Oriental, ranging in color from white, pale pink through 
soft pink and rose-pink to cerise. Especially useful where a sequence of 
shades is desired. 
JAPONICA ETNA. Has a rank growth, with large flowers of bright rose-red. 
Most effective when naturalized among ferns in sun dappled shade. 
PULVERULENTA. Ranks with the choicest of the Candelabras. The farinose 
stem identifies this species. This is the best variety for planting near pool 
or brook. 
BARTLEY STRAIN. Shades from every pale pink to watermelon pink, some 
having a distinct rose-red eye. 
SPECIE. Rose-red. 
MIXED CANDELABRAS, including Bulleyana, Japonica and Pulverulenta. 
Any one of the eight above named Candelabras, pkt. 50c. 
MIXED ASIATICS. A blend of Asiatics selected for long sequence of bloom. 
Valuable for the gardener who wishes to ascertain what varieties are par- 
ticularly adapted to his locality. Pkt. $1.00.

JULIAE HYBRIDS 
The original of this charming primrose came from the Caucasus Mountains some 40 years ago. 
It is very hardy and multiplies rapidly. If planted in partial shade and given plenty of water, 
it will blossom from spring through the summer and fall. Fine for rock garden and border. Try 
the claret or burgundy-red shades near orange-copper for accent. 
The many named hybrids, which have been added to the Juliae family, have so enlarged 
its color range that it now contains the pure white of SCHNEEKISSEN, ALBA and SNOW BUNTY; 
the creamy yellow of DOROTHY; the pink andj rose shades of MRS. McGILLIVRAY, ROSEA, 
SPRINGTIME, CRISPI, E. R. JAYNES, and KINLOUGH BEAUTY; the blue of BUNTY; and the 
bluish or violet tones of HELENAE, PAM, PRIMROSE LODGE, and WEE GEM. Our planting 
includes all of the above named varieties, and also many unnamed .hybrids. 
Due to the fact that Juliae Hybrids bloom very early, at a time when, in our locality, we often 
have heavy, cold rains, pollination is very uncertain. We had a crop failure in 1945, and, 
after this experience, and the consequent disappointment of many of our customers, we think 
it best not to make a catolgue offer of this seed in advance of our harvest, which should be com- 
pleted by July 1, 1946. Watch our ads. 
SPECIAL PRIMULA SEED OFFER 
Any one dollar packet plus any three fifty-cent packets, 
regular value $2.50, for $2.00. 
DELPHINIUM SEED 
Reselected seed of the choicest Pacific Hybrid stock. The florets are of unusual size, from 
2% to 3 inches in diameter, of fine form and heavy texture. The color range includes both 
light and dark shades of blue,, mauve-pink tones, and white. We have found this strain 
to be practically disease resisant. Because of their branching habit, the flower spikes have a 
longer blooming period, and are more valuable for use as cut flowers. Pkt. $1.00. 
HARDY CYCLAMEN 
No rock garden is complete without this gem. The lovely white, pink and rose flowers grow 
about 4 inches tall, and the beautiful, marbled foliage is especially decorative when grown 
in shady sections of the rock garden, or as ground cover in some very special shady spot. Since 
it is very slow to germinate, sow seed during period of frosts, not over 4 inch deep and A Pacific Hybrid 
about 1 inch apart. The little corms, when transplanted, should barely be covered. Neapoli- 
tanum, mixed only, pkt. $1.00. t
