AURICULA 
CHIONANTHA. This striking primula is a native of North- 
ern Yunnan. The fragrant ivory flowers grow on 12 in. 
stems, covered with a golden meal. The strap-like leaves 
are light green. In our locality it blooms in early spring 
and again in the fall. It thrives in a cool, rich but gritty 
soil, and requires perfect drainage. 
FLORINDAE. A moisture loving giant from Tibet, carrying 
enormous trusses of fragrant yellow blossoms on 3-foot 
stalks. Blooms during mid-summer. The heartshaped, 
cordate foliage is most distinctive and effective garden 
material. 
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 intense 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 planted with a background of 
Denticulata. Available July, 1947. 
Any one of the six above listed Asiatics, pkt. 50c. 
SIEBOLDII. Handsome and delicate appearing, but very 
hardy, being a native of Central Siberia, as well as Japan. 
The lovely, soft, crumply foliage, and the fine fringed flow- 
ers on 10 to 15-inch stems, make beautiful flower arrange- 
ments. Flourishes in cool, rich, light soil, light enough to 
permit its creeping habit. Since the foliage dies after the 
plant has bloomed, a summer mulch to hold the moisture, 
and a winter mulch to keep the ground mellow, will make 
unnecessary the early cultivation, 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 lavender varieties — Dora and 
Southern Cross. Mixed colors only, pkt. $1.00.

CANDELABRA 
This type is well suited to planting in lower locations in 
the rock gorden, 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 dor- 
mant period, for this condition is likely to rot the crown. 
In a wet climate, leaves must be kept off the crown in win- 
ter. This type is easy to grow and is very effective for mass 
planting. It will add color to the shady garden. 
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. Sold out till August, 1947. 
BULLEYANA HYBRIDS. Color range includes yellow, buff, 
apricot, burnt orange, terra cotta. The blooms are larger 
than those of specie Bulleyana. Both Bulleyana and Bul- 
leyana Hybrids bloom from a month to six weeks later 
than the other candelabras. 
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. Sold out 
till August, 1947. 
JAPONICA. A sturdy Oriental, ranging in color from white, 
pale pink through soft pink and rose-pink to cerise. Espe- 
cially useful where a sequence of shades is desired. 
JAPONICA ETNA. A vigorous primula with large flowers 
of bright rose red. Is most effective when naturalized 
among ferns in sun dappled shade. 
PULVERULENTA. Ranks with the choicest of the Candela- 
bras. The farinose stem identifies this species. This is the 
best variety for planting near pool or brook. 
BARTLEY STRAIN. Shades from very 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 particularly adapted to his 
locality. Pkt. $1.00. 
We recommend that Asiatic seed be sowed in late winter 
or very early spring.
