Primula Bulleyana 
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 dor- 
mant period, for this condition is likely to rot 
the crown. In a wet climate, leaves must be 
kept off the crown in winter. This type is easy 
to grow and is very effective for mass plant 
ing. It will add color to the shady garden. 
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. 
JAPONICA ETNA. A vigorous primula with 
large flowers of bright rose red. Is most ef- 
fective when naturalized among ferns in sun 
and dappled shade. 
PULVERULENTA. Ranks with the choicest of 
the Candelabras. The farinose stem identi- 
fies 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 dis- 
tinct rose-red eye. 
Any one of the four above named Cande- 
labras, pkt. 50c. 

ASIATIC PRIMULAS 
DENTICULATA CASHMERIANA. An old favorite, orig- 
inally brought from the Himalayas. Beaultiful lavender, 
heliotrope-blue and white florets, close set, on stout stems. 
The flowers develop ahead of the grey-green serrated foli- 
age. Mossy, grey rocks make a harmonious background 
for this vigorous primula. Either mixed colors or white. 
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 
foliage is most distinctive and effective garden material. 
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. 
Any one of the above four, 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. 
We recommend that Asiatic seed be sowed in late winter 
or very early spring.
