P. verna nana : 
this exquisite flowering plant is one of the earliest of the genus to bloom 
with a profusion of golden - yellow flowers in little dense, dark-green cushicns 
in May; 3” stems; plant in sunny position where it can be admired at close 
range. 
PRIMULA 
A vast genus of plants, many of which are very choice. Most desirable 
plants for the rock garden, they always require shade in this country unless 
the soil is kept damp, and must have moisture at their roots continuously if 
planted in the sun. It is far better to plant them on the side of large rocks 
facing north or in a position shadowed by tall plants or shrubs. 
P. auricula 
a choice treasure for the rock garden; rosettes of thick leaves which are 
most attractive; the flowering stems rise from the rosettes to a height of 6” 
to 8” bearing various colored blossoms with white-yellowish eyes which are 
notably fragrant. A mulch of small gravel or crushed stone helps to keep the 
ground cool and protects the blossoms from being splashed by earth. We are 
offering fine mixed colors only, raised from imported seed. It is a May 
blooming plant. 
$1.00 each 
P. polyantha 
We have one of the finest strains of these plants in the East. They pro- 
duce large blossoms in umbels on 6” stems. We are offering lemon-yellow, 
apricot, orange. Our selected white form is extremely floriferous and a joy 
to behold. These primulas have been repeated sensations at shows.

ROSA (Rose) 
The miniature roses make an excellent addition to the rock garden be- 
cause of their almost everblooming habit June to frost. Plant in full sun, 
ordinary garden loam. A pinch of bone meal can be added to the loam at 
planting time. Under no circumstances should they be given commercial 
fertilizers, since they will loose their compactness. 
Pruning -- In early spring remove ali dead wood and also all the seed 
pods as they form during flowering time. 
Spraying -- They need the same care as their big sisters. We have found 
Tri-o-gen very beneficial against black spot, mildew and chewing insects. 
Follow the maker’s directions. The plants we are offering are good top-sized 
plants potted in 4” pots.

leggy.
