P. ANISODORA $1.25 
This rare Candelabra is the closest thing there is to a black primrose, 
the flowers being such a dark purple they appear black in most lights. 
The leaves and roots give off an odor of licorice when bruised. 
P. ATRODENTATA $1.00 
We believe this to be one of the first times that this treasure has ever 
been offered for sale. Very similar to its larger cousin, P. denticulata, 
this gem has a loose round head of lavender white-eyed flowers on a 
3” stem. it blooms very early in the spring. 
P. AURICULA (Type Species) SEED ONLY 1953 
This is the true Primula auricula, parent of all the hybrid auriculas, 
gathered from the Swiss Alps. A ''must'' for the lover of the Auriculas, 
it is a fine vigorous plant, heavy with richly perfumed yellow blossoms 
in the spring. 
P. AURICULA (Border or Garden Type} $.50 
This is the hybridized form of the above plant, and comes in all the 
colors of the rainbow. Its flowers are very fragrant and are carried in 
large umbels. Probably the toughest of all the Primroses, it is almost 
invulnerable to bugs, adverse garden position, or other mistreatment. 
P. AURICULA (Alpine Type) $.50 
Similar to the border type, this form of the auricula has little or no 
meal* on the leaves, and is bicolored, with the second color appearing 
as an edging around the flower. The show quality alpine auricula has 
no meal on the plant, and the edges of the petal are not notched. 
The plants we offer at this price, this year, are not of show caliber. 
P. BEESIANA o75 
This magnificent Candelabra is one of the most popular, and is highly 
recommended for any garden. Blooming in June, it has rich carmine 
flowers with a yellow eye. While able to withstand quite a bit of 
punishment, like all of its type this sturdy plant prefers a little shade, 
plus the usual soil and moisture. 
P. BELLIDIFOLIA $1.50 
This lovely cousin of P. muscaroides is smaller, and the flower head is 
not as spike shaped. The blue-violet, farina covered flowers make a 
wonderful show in the rockery or beneath a shrub. 
* MEAL or FARINA are synonymous names for a white or yellow colored powder 
which appears naturally on the leaves, stems, and flowers of many Primroses.
