P. CARNIOLICA $3.50 
Though it is very hard to choose, | think that this dainty plant is my 
favorite of the members of the Auricula tribe. Partial to humusy, 
lightly shaded soil, this alpine species blooms in April, sending up 5” 
stems bearing lovely trusses of rose-colored flowers with a silver eye. 
P. CHIONANTHA $1.00 
Popularly called the "Snow Primrose", this plant is a native of the high 
Himalayas. It is a lover of shade and moisture, and early in May 
sends up huge trusses of fragrant, icy white bloom, on 20” stems. 
. CLARKE $5.00 
This lovely plant seems to be very near the top of the list of the most 
wanted" Primroses. It is a plant for the shaded rockery, or for a damp 
spot beneath a bush, where it will cover itself with white-eyed pink 
blossoms most of the year. Very small, never growing more than two 
or three inches high, it quickly spreads to cover a fair sized area. It 
starts blooming in the middle of February here and blooms through 
October. 
P. COCKBURNIANA $.75 
The smallest of the Candelabras, and | think the lovliest, this plant will 
stop traffic in any garden when in bloom. The flowers of P. Cock- 
burniana are a very intense coppery-orange and when in full bloom 
it is about a foot high. Quickly spreads to form large plants. 
P. CONCHOLOBA $2.00 
A cousin of P. muscaroides and P. bellidifolia, this gorgeous plant has 
a globe shaped head of brilliant violet flowers which are silvered 
with farina. 
P. CONSPERSA $2.00 
This lilac, orange-eyed, Chinese cousin of P. frondosa is very very 
rare. An eye filling plant, blooming in June, it wants to be kept moist. 
P. CALYCINA SEED ONLY 1953 
Another magnificent member of the Auricula tribe, this one has rich 
purple flowers and long, pointed leaves. This lovely grows to perfection 
almost anywhere in the garden, and is not fussy about soil. Correctly 
this is a subspecie of P. glaucescens, but we use this listing to avoid 
confusion. )
