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. 
Perennial. 
®872 VULGARIS. The old English Prim- 
rose with pale yellow flowers, 6 to 9 
inches high. Grows in half shade. Mid- 
April to June. PEt., 20c. 

Oriental Poppies 
Polyanthus 
(Bunch Primrose) 
Showy, free-flowering perennials that 
should be used largely in borders, wild 
gardens and rockeries. If your soil is 
light and dry and you have no shaded 
situations, do not try to grow the true 
Primroses as offered at left, but confine 
your efforts to the Polyanthus that we 
list below. The Polyanthus or Bunch 
Primroses will thrive in full sun if they 
have some moisture at the root, if not, 
they must be given the comfort of par- 
tial shade. 
®873 GIANT BOUQUET. The seed of 
this strain is saved only from the larg- 
est flowers having the best form and 
special pains are taken to ensure as 
wide a range of color as possible, in- 
cluding brilliant shades of red, orange 
and bronze, aS well as the richest 
maroons and yellows, and pure white.
