RED TONE POLYANTHUS from Oriental Shades 
ACAULIS 
ACAULIS GIANT FLOWERED MIXED 
When in full bloom, these luxuriant plants are a veritable 
mass of brilliance. Through rigid selection we have attained 
gratifying improvements over the older strains both in the 
size of the flower and in shades of color. Each tight rose-like 
bud is on its own separate stem. Blue, white, cream, yellow, 
pink, rose, lavender, purple and red colors appear in this fine 
mixture. These bright little flowers bound tightly together 
make one of the most attractive nosegays you can have from 
your garden. Mixed colors. Growers’ Pkt. (400 seeds) $1.50. 
ACAULIS BLUE 
It is a very bright medium blue, with particularly fine form 
and texture. The low growing plants are exceedingly prolific. 
Growers’ Pkt. (400 seeds) $2.50. 
AURICULA 
An exceedingly hardy primula, second only to the Polyanthus 
in popularity. Choose a location where the plants will receive 
some shade, provide good drainage, and if your soil is on the 
acid side, add lime. Auricula is at home in your rock garden, 
or on a north slope, for it comes from the mountain heights 
where rock and snow are its chosen habitat. 
The plants bloom from April until June, and again in the fall. 
The thick, fleshy stems and large clusters of flowers spring 
from neat rosettes of thick gray-green leaves. 
AURICULA LARGE FLOWERED MIXED 
Colors in this mixture include yellow, light brown, blue, 
henna, plum, purple, rose, pastel tones, and some brassy-green 
shades. Very long-lasting either in the garden or as a cut 
flower. Growers’ Pkt. (400 seeds) $1.00. 
Last year I ordered your seed of the Blue Acaulis. I fol- 
lowed your directions and had wonderful germination from 
them. '
