Blue seed is from ten days to two weeks slower to germinate than is 
the mixed. The Blue Shades and also the Pastel Shades should be grown 
in shade in acid soil to preserve the colors. 
ACAULIS 
This is the low growing “bunch” type, having a profusion 
of flowers with each bloom on its own individual stem. It 
is early and is very effective when planted in ‘drifts’ in 
a natural woodland setting, or when used in rockeries, or 
in borders. This primrose blooms about two weeks or more 
ahead of the Polyanthus, thus extending the flowering 
period of the primrose garden. 
GIANT FLOWERED. This variety is a great improvement 
over the older forms, both as to size of flower and shades 
of color. When in full bloom, this luxuriant plant is a veri- 
table mass of brilliance. Each tight, rose-like bud is on its 
own separate stem. These are especially suited for cor- 
sages and small nosegays. It can be effectively grown in 
pots in a cool greenhouse or in warmer localities, in a lath 
house. The colors are white, cream, yellow, various shades 
of pink, rose, lavender, blue, purple and red. The pink and 
blue shades may germinate more slowly. Mixed colors 
only. Growers’ pkt., 400 seeds, $1.00; 1/16 oz. $3.00; Y oz. 
$6.00; % oz. $12.00. 
BLUE ACAULIS. This rich medium blue acaulis has par- 
ticularly fine form and texture, although not quite as large 
a bloom as the mixed, giant flowered. It is especially at- 
tractive because of its profuse blooming habit. Growers’ 
pkt., 400 seeds, $2.00; 1/16 oz. $4.50; Ye oz. $9.00; % oz.
