DOWN THE PRIMROSE 
PATH 
Primula - Hardy Primrose 
The Primrose is a splendid plant for 
naturalizing near shrubs or shaded nooks 
and moist places on the rockery. Prim- 
roses are not at home in the open herba- 
ceous borders, but thrive in sheltered, 
lightly wooded places, where they may 
grow among the Violets, Hepaticas and 
Bloodroot. They generally establish 
themselves in damp and shaded positions 
which are generally most difficult to fill.

should be used largely in borders, wild

your efforts to the Polyanthus that we

have some moisture at the root, if not, 
they must be given the comfort of par- 
tial shade.
