HARDY PRIMROSES 
Since most of the Asiatic primulas come from the high elevations of India, China, Tibet 
and Siberia, they can be grown successfully in colder as well as more moderate climates. 
From the many species we have tested in our own trials, we have chosen only those 
which fulfilled two conditions: They had to be surpassingly beautiful, and they had to 
be easy to grow. All species offered here match these conditions. 

CANDELABRA PRIMULAS 
This group (down to Denticulata) is characterized by the successive whorls of flowers 
appearing on tall stems. Their general appearance is shown by the illustration of 
Bulleyana Hybrids on the opposite page. Best locations for these primulas are in the 
lower part of the rock garden, at the edges of a stream or pool, or among shrubs. They 
are spring and summer blooming, and add greatly to the color in the shady part of 
your garden. 
BULLEYANA HYBRIDS 
Tight clusters of terra cotta buds are followed by as many as seven successive whorls 
of yellow, buff, apricot, or burnt orange flowers. This habit of continuing bloom as 
the flower stalk lengthens makes a long blooming period in mid-summer when you 
really need color. Mixed colors. Pkt. $1.00. 

ASTHORE HYBRIDS 
Similar to Bulleyana Hybrids, but with taller stems, and a 
series of shades of pink, rose, lilac, buff and apricot. 
Pkt. $1.00. 
HELODOXA 
A very fine, bright yellow candelabra. Flower stems grow 
about 2 feet tall, and the beautiful foliage is evergreen. At 
its best beside a stream. Pkt. $1.00. 
JAPONICA 
Especially useful where a sequence of shades is desired. 
Color ranges from white through pale pink, pink, and rose- 
pink to cerise. See illustration. Pkt. 50c. 
JAPONICA ETNA 
Sturdy plants, with successive whorls of bright rose-red 
flowers on tall stems. Exceedingly beautiful when natur- 
Japonica alized among ferns. Pkt. $1.00. 

PULVERULENTA 
One of the most attractive candelabras, 
with rose-pink whorls of flowers on dis- 
tinctive, powder-white stems. Best variety 
for planting by a pool or stream. Pkt. 50c. 
PULVERULENTA, Bartley Strain 
Lovely soft pink to watermelon-pink 
florets, some with rose-red eye, growing 
on milky-white stems. Attractive foliage. 
Pkt. $1.00. 
DENTICULATA 
‘An old favorite, originally brought from 
the high Himalayas of northern India. 
Beautiful lavender, helitrope-blue and white 
florets, close set, on stout stems. The flowers 
develop ahead of the gray-green, serrated 
foliage. Mossy rocks make the perfect back- 
ground for this vigorous species. Available 
either in mixed colors or white. Pkt. $1.00.
