PRIMULA AURICULA 
PRIMULA AURICULA—Evergreen Primrose 
In the Auricula we have a primrose that may be grown with 
no protection whatever in any part of the country. The broad 
fleshy leaves are evergreen and may often be seen encaked 
in ice in our beds but when the ice is gone they are as firm as 
ever. In some varieties the leaves are coated with a silvery 
bloom that adds greatly to their charm. The sweetly scented 
flowers come in a wide range of colors. They bloom both 
spring and fall, asking only a rich, moist soil in sun or shade. 
A situation affording light shade from the noon-day sun 
suits them best. We are offering a few named sorts from 
our large collection of imported varieties, grown entirely 
from division and guaranteed true to name.

' with large yellow eye. A magnificent specimen with extra
