PRIMULA—Continued 
Auricula Primrose 
PRIMULA “pubescens (natural and garden hybrids of Auricula, 
hirsuta, villosa, and viscosa) Very old hybrids with ro- 
settes of thick, smooth leaves. Large flowers of various 
colors, all with a distinct eye, on 6 to 10 inch stems, from 
mid- to late Spring, and often again in the Fall. They like 
a limy soil, with a little shade and ample moisture with 
good drainage. Friable loam mixed with leafmold, com- 
post, old manure, and coarse sand gives good results. Mixed 
shades only. 50c and 75c. 
Siebolds Primrose 
*Sieboldii—A very beautiful, hardy, Asiatic plant often con- 
fused with cortusoides, with which it has nothing to do. 
It has masses of soft crumply leaves, which are scalloped, 
and heads of flowers with almost every conceivable design 
of fringed segments. It likes a cool, rich soil in light shade. 
The colors range from white through soft rosy-purple to 
almost red and some are bi-colored. The plants bloom from 
mid- to late Spring. This Primrose is easy but little known 
and grown. The blooms and foliage are both very attrac- 
tive in the shaded rock or woodland garden and prolong 
the Primrose season. 8 to 10 in. We constantly receive 
reports from all over the country about the good behavior 
of Siebolds Primrose. It is one of the hardiest Primroses 
as well as one of the loveliest. Mixed shades, each 50c, mal .
