PRIMROSES—Continued 
JULIANA HYBRID, NETTIE P. GALE 
JULIANA HYBRIDS 
These miniature 20th century hybrids are a most welcome addi- 
tion to the primrose family. All are derived from the precious, 
diminutive species Juliae crossed with Acaulis and Polyanthus 
types. Their Juliae traits of unusual hardiness and tolerance of 
summer heat and drouth have enabled gardeners in more diffi- 
cult areas to grow primroses successfully for the first time. Re- 
ports from the midwest where hot summers and cold winters pre- 
vail already indicate they are destined to become most popular 
throughout the country. For the small intimate garden or the 
cool rockery these miniature jewels will afford greatest delight. 
And as an edging plant along garden paths or perennial borders 
they are invaluable. Most varieties are rapid increasers and a 
single clump will provide hundreds of plants in a few years. Many 
bloom so liberally that their leaves are completely hidden when 
in full flower. The neat foliage in different shades of green often 
tinted bronze is attractive at all times. 
DOROTHY Per clump .75 
A miniature Polyanthus developed in England. Pretty light 
yellow flowers in airy clusters on rigid 4 inch stems. Perhaps 
the best of this color. 
E.R. JAYNES Per clump 1.50 
Brilliant rose pink flowers with salmon tinted centers. One of 
the most striking varieties and extremely rare. Not a fast 
multiplier. 2 to 3 inches. 
HELENAE PURPURKISSEN Per clump .75 
Profusely flowering and a strong grower this fine variety should 
prove most satisfactory. Masses of deep reddish violet flowers 
on 4 inch stems. 
KAY Per clump 1.00 
The finest blue Juliana in our opinion. Another Polyanthus 
type with deep blue flower clusters on 4 inch stems. Crisp 
dark green foliage. Strong grower. 
JULIAE (Species) Per clump .75 
Tiniest of all and recognized by primrose hybridizers as one 
of the most important of all species. Diminutive in every re- 
spect this little jewel is a prize subject for the rockery. Its 
stoloniferous habit produces tidy mats of pretty foliage 
studded with dainty red purple flowers on | inch stems. Of 
rugged constitution it endures adversity including heat, 
drouth and cold to a greater degree than all other primroses. 
In interior regions where even the Polyanthus have failed to 
thrive Juliae and its hybrids have brought satisfaction and 
pleasure to the many who had about given up all hope of 
growing primroses. 
NETTIE P. GALE Per clump .75 
Beautiful in all respects. An acaulis type that bears masses of 
blush white flowers above elegant bronze tinted foliage. A 
solid border of this variety around one of our circular beds 
never fails to win the admiration of visitors. Robust habit 
and most desirable.

PAM Per clump .75 
A magnified Juliae in both leaf and flower. The glowing wine 
red florets are produced over a long period. 3 inches. 
ROSEA Per clump 1.50 
The biggest in this group. Large light orchid pink flowers 
come in unbelievable profusion and completely hide the light 
areen foliage. The demand for this glorious variety has been 
so tremendous that stock has become extremely scarce. Acaulis 
type. 4 inches. 
SCHNEEKISSEN Per clump 1.00 
Considered to be the finest pure white variety. Most refined 
and one of the wee hybrids. Elfin flowers on 1 to 2 inch stems 
may appz2ar anytime from late fall to spring. 
SPRINGTIME Per clump .75 
Color is similar to Rosea but of lesser size in all parts. Of 
Polyanthus tendencies the dainty orchid pink flower clusters 
are borne on 4 inch stems. 
HARDY CANDELABRA PRIMROSES 
Under proper conditions these Asiatic primulas, commonly desig- 
nated as Candelabras, are the most spectacular of all in the 
garden. A well grown collection of pink Japonicas or velvety 
crimson Pulverulentas in full flower is a magnificent sight. In 
addition they are among the last to bloom and are at their peak 
in early summer after the Polyanthus are gone. They are the 
giants of their genus. The stalwart green or silvered flower stalks 
grow up to 3 feet above giant leaves | foot or more in length. 
Their size and glorious effect in mass plantings merits the con- 
sideration of all who possess large gardens and suitable growing 
conditions. 
Because the Candelabras are moisture lovers we do not recom- 
mend them for dry, hot climatzs unless your garden contains a 
bog or stream or you can supply abundant water from spring 
until fall. They bloom well in dense shade and offer distinctive 
planting materials for the woodland or any location with north 
exposure. In Western Oregon and Washington they are easily 
grown anywhere and increase most rapidly if allowed to ripen 
and self sow their seeds. 
FINEST HYBRID MIXTURE 3 for 1.50; 6 for 2.75; 12 for 5.00 
Many species and hybrids are involved in this splendid selec- 
tion including pinks, reds, purples and copper shades.

Just want you to know that I was elated with the fine quality of your 
Daylilies, which were purchased during one of your very spectal 
offers in Sept. One of them is blooming now and it is the lovely 
buckeye. Here's hoping I can steer more orders your way.
