Woodland Type Primulas 
Masked by an elfin grace and dainty beauty, the following 
three from Korea and Japan are exceptionally rugged and 
almost drought resistant. They will do with less water but 
like a moist woodland type soil. They spread by stolons, mak- 
ing ever-widening patches. Late April-May bloom. 

A spreading P. Sieboldi undisturbed for several years. 
P. SIEBOLDI—One of the most beautiful of all Primulas, a large- 
flowered Polyanthus type, often with cut or fringed petals, ranging 
from white through rose to rose-lavender. Goes dormant in the sum. 
mer and is not seen again until the following spring. From Korea and 
Japan. Assorted colors only. 50c each, 3/$1.40, 6/$2.60, $5 dozen, 
plus postage. 
P. KISOANA—Grows into a pool of lovely mauve-pink blooms on white 
bearded, dwarf Stalks. Cultivated in Japanese gardens for two cen- 
turies and is considered one of the most beautiful and rare. $1. each. 
P. SAXATILIS—In 1897 this lilac-pink, heart-shaped petaled Primula
