ACAULIS 
No member of the family is more joyous and gay, more lighthearted 
and merry than the Primrose, intrepid offspring of the yellow English 
Primrose and the highly-colored Primrose of the Levant. It lightens 
the darkest spots, it brings gladness to flagging spirits and dark 
days that have not yet passed out of winter into the persuasion of 
a spring sun. Its charm and daintiness is not marred by exceptional 
size—larger even than the Polyanthus. It casts up its flowers on 
individual stems into which has been bred a length and sturdiness 
never before achieved and which turns the plants into star-studded 
pillows. The long. pointed buds are like miniature hvbrid tea Roses
