European Primroses 
Primula acaulis Edwin Mustoe. Grows to be a large and robust plant 
te OE Oe 
P. 
P. 
with ample (as large as a dollar) madder-pink flowers. Brought with 
the Edwin Mustoe-family from their Cotswold garden in the “Old 
Country” to Vancouver Island. $1.00. 
. Juliae. A creeping plant of smallish smooth dark green leaves, scal- 
loped and heart-shaped; flowers short-stemmed, a clear claret-red. 
‘Why this plant is not more greatly appreciated I can not under- 
stand. 35c. 
Hybrids of P. Juliae are called P. x Juliana. They are usually not 
creeping but rosetted; the leaves are larger, often crinkled, altogether 
more of the P. acaulis type. The flowers are larger, much, on some- 
what longer stems and of brilliantly clear and unusually soft colors. 
. X Juliana Dorothy. Flowers primrose yellow. 75c. 
. x Juliana Kinlough Beauty. Flowers rose-pink. 75c. 
. x Juliana Mrs. McGillivray. Large flowers of dusty mauve. 75c. 
. x Juliana Mrs. Nettie P. Gale. Small rosettes of good foliage. Flowers 
open white and turn an apricot pink. $1.00. 
. x Juliana rosea. Flowers apple-blossom pink. 75c. 
. minima. Eastern Alps. Tiny rosettes of toothed leaves with large 
rose-purple flowers close upon the green. Scree. I have never been 
able to induce it to bloom. Of it Will Ingwersen says, “P. minima does 
well in limestone, and will settle down to a life of prodigal flowering 
and generous increase.” It is doubtful whether this remark makes 
any one feel better or worse. $1.00. 
- x biflora. A rare hybrid of P. minima. Two large flowers of bright 
pink to the scape. $1.50. 
x Salisburgensis. Another rare hybrid of P. minima. Flower buds 
are said to be deep blue opening to lilac with a white eye. $1.50. 
Wulfeniana. Rosettes of glossy pointed leaves; 2 in. stem carries sev- 
eral bright rose-mauve flowers. 75c. 
Primula Auricula. We have an excellent strain of “fancy” Primula Aur- 
icula. The rosettes are handsome, many covered with farina; the 
stems stout, the flowers large and clear of color. In many shades 
and combinations of violet, rose, purple and maroon. 75c¢ for a single 
rosette; 50c for each additional rosette on the main stalk. In our own 
collection we have some fine “Show Auriculas.” a few of which we 
can spare. They had best be seen and selected when in bloom. Some 
are old named varieties but many are not and for the most part these 
last have more “quality.” They vary in price. $2.00-$5.00.
