Primula - PRIMROSE 
Primulas in their varied forms and colors are among the earliest of spring flowers. They are ideal 
for shady spots in the rock-garden or in the shade of evergreens, trees, and shrubs. They like a rich 
loam with a Itberal quantity of peat moss or leaf mold and need plenty of moisture from April right 
on through the summer and fall seasons.

PEONIES For Fall Planting Only 
A very complete list of the world’s best herbaceous Peonies will be 
offered in our new fall supplement to be issued this summer. It is a 
generally accepted fact that Peonies give the very best results when 
planted in fall. The Peony has often been called King of the Perennials 
because it is so dependably hardy and long-lived. So plan to plant more 
Peonies this fall. 
We have endeavored to offer our patrons a new and entirely different trend 
in garden color harmony. While we have shown a border 15 feet by 3 feet, any 
space or design, with or without a background, comprising about the same 
number of square feet may well be utilized. We have also considered continuous 
colorful blooms to be provided throughout June, July, August, and September.

POPPIES (Papaver orientale.) For Fall Planting 
It is generally agreed that Oriental Poppies should always be planted 
mm early fall. The best results are achieved when setting them out from 
Jate August on through October, depending on your climate. We shall 
have a limited number of varieties established m pots for early spring 
planting and available to customers calling at the Nursery; not for 
shipping. The complete list of Poppies will be offered in our new fall 
supplement this summer. See page 21. 

We have suggested close planting so as to create, within a short time, groups 
or masses cf harmonious colors instead of the old-fashioned ‘“‘salt and pepper” 
plantings. Any well-spaded garden soil will grow these sturdy perennials for 
years to come with minimum care and expense.
