Primrose Path Gardens open the spring season of 1946 
under the management of Edwin and Evangeline Nyden. 
Mr. Nyden is a graduate of the famous Missouri Botanical 
Gardens and Washington University of St. Louis, and has 
ambitious plans for enlarging the scope of Primrose Path 
Gardens, and maintaining at all times its established 
reputation for dependability. 
The Nydens are eager to make Primrose Path Gardens 
one of the northwest’s true beauty spots and a place 
where you will enjoy making a leisurely selection of your 
gardening needs. Each of its velvety green paths opens 
a new vista of beauty—extensive beds of gorgeous prim- 
roses and pansies welcome you; down this path you'll 
find a Wishing Well—look over your shoulder and spy 
a perky squirrel atop the chimney of the outdoor fire- 
place. Garden chairs invite a pause beneath the great 
Cedar of Lebanon trees which encircle the patio where 
Bambi poises among cool ferns. Flowers are everywhere! 
Primrose Path Gardens’ easy accessibility will make 
it possible for you to come and bring your friends, not 
once, but many times and find always the same courtesy 
and dependable merchandise. On the Superhiway (99E) 
at Chestnut street, just two miles south of Milwaukie, 
you can locate the Gardens easily by the Dutch Mill 
Flower Shop whose flower-filled windows attract the 
attention of hundreds of motorists every day.
