ORDER EARLY 
In cool climates primrose seed can be sown successfully at 
any time of the year, but elsewhere the best germination 
and finest plants result when it is planted either in late 
winter or early spring before the season of frosts is over.

-POLYANTHUS COLOSSAL MIXED 
Americans like their flowers large and colorful. We have 
therefore developed our strain of this famous primrose ac- 
cordingly and have stressed impressive size and diversity of 
colors, as well as earliness of bloom. The massive flower 
umbels are carried on 10 to 12 inch stems, well above the 
lush green foliage. Individual florets measure from 11/, to 2 
inches across. The color sequence is wide and varied, with 
many unusual shades. These include white, yellow, red, pink, 
lavender, peach, salmon, rose, blue, gold, henna, 
tile shades, burgundy, fuchsia, and violet. 
While these are hardy outdoor primulas, they make 
superb potted plants for patio or garden room. Use 
them in window boxes, in planters, or in the lath 
house. The clusters of flowers make wonderful cor- 
sages, attractive flower arrangements, and delight- 
ful small bouquets or nosegays. Growers’ Pkt. (400 
seeds) $1.00; 1/16 oz. $3.50; 1% oz. $6.50; 14 oz.
