Nh eS ooh 
U 
with ample (as large as a dollar) madder-pink flowers. $1.25. Brought 
with the Edwin Mustoe-family from their Cotswold garden in the “Old 
Country” to Vancouver Island. 
. Juliae. A creeping plant of-smallish smooth dark green leaves, scal- 
loped and heart-shaped; flowers short-stemmed, a clear claret-red. 
Why this plant is not more greatly appreciated I can not under- 
stand. 35c. 
Hybrids of P. Juliae are called P. x Juliana. They are usually not 
creeping but rosetted; the leaves are larger, often crinkled, altogether 
more of the P. acaulis type. The flowers are larger, much, on some- 
what longer stems and of brilliantly clear and unusually soft colors. 
. x Juliana Dorothy. Flowers primrose yellow. 75c. 
x Juliana Edelstein. Flowers large, soft, sparkling red. 75c. 
x Juliana Kinlough Beauty. Flowers rose-pink. 75c. 
x Juliana Mrs. McGillivray. Large flowers of dusty mauve. 75c. 
x Juliana rosea. Flowers apple-blossom pink. 75c. 
. marginata. Thick gray-green toothed leaves, heavily edged with silver 
meal; heavy trusses of lavender-blue flowers. $1.00. 
. m. The General. Large flowers of mauve. $2.50. 
m. Linda Pope. The leaves are somewhat shorter and broader than 
those of the species, more conspicuously toothed and all covered with 
silver farina. The flowers are deep blue-violet. $3.00. 
P. m. Prichard’s var. Large, flowers of rose-purple. $3.00. 
P. m. rosea. At present unflowered here. $1.00. 
. minima. Eastern Alps. Tiny rosettes of toothed leaves with large 
rose-purple flowers close upon the green. Scree. I have never been 
able to induce it to bloom. Of it Will Ingwersen says, ““P. minima does 
well in limestone, and will settle down to a life of prodigal flowering 
and generous increase.” It is doubtful whether this remark makes 
any one feel better or worse. $1.00. 
. xX biflora. A rare hybrid of P. minima. Two large flowers of bright 
pink to the scape. $1.50. 
. X Salisburgensis. Another rare hybrid of P. minima. Flower buds 
are said to be deep blue opening to lilac with a white eye. $1.50. 
. Wulfeniana. Rosettes of glossy pointed leaves; 2 in. stem carries sev- 
eral bright rose-mauve flowers. 50c.
