HYBRID PRIMROSES

Our primroses are propagated by subdivision from carefully
selected plants grown from seed imported from England, Scot¬
land, Switzerland, China, and Japan, and are absolutely the
best that money can buy ; nothing better can be had anywhere.

We have been working with these primroses for sixteen years
before putting them on the market and none without special
merit are tolerated on our grounds.

Primroses do best in a rich loamy soil and prefer a partly
shady location, especially with some protection from the after¬
noon sun.

They are perfectly hardy but should be protected by a litter
of straw or leaves during zero weather.

Plant our exquisite primroses in your rock garden, or edge
your tulip beds with them, or tuck them under your spireas
or other blooming shrubs, or naturalize them, and you will be
the envy of all your gardener friends and have joy and satis¬
faction untold. If you have a color scheme in your garden you
can match it in primroses and prolong the flowering period as
they are the earliest perennials except Hellebore Niger which
blooms in January. The primroses bloom as soon as the frost
is out of the ground, the Veris (English variety) are the first,
then come Cashmeriana, Aurioula, and Pulverulenta in the
order named.

Cashmeriana are quite different from the English, with
bright purple flowers forming a ball 2 to 3 inches in diameter
on stems 8 to 12 inches high, very striking with a number of
flower stalks to each plant.

Primula Auricula (native of Norway and Switzerland) is a
lovely species, with a wealth of fleshy, grey foliage, and clus¬
ters of rich velvety blossoms with a warm fragrance. They
are very popular in Europe and should be much better known
here, as they are splendid for rock gardens and for edging.

Primula Pulverulenta brings the procession into June and
July with its tall flower stalks of exquisite colors and beautiful
crisp rosettes of large light green leaves that are' an asset in
themselves. The Cashmeriana and Pulverulenta should be
marked as they die down below the surface in the Winter and
show no sign until mild weather comes again in the Spring.

Primula Florindae comes later in the year than any other
and blooms for a long time during the Summer.

If you want a hobby, or have a yen for collecting, these
primroses are a great boon as there are several hundred varie¬
ties and new ones are always being discovered in all parts of
the world. As often as we find anything new and good we will
add it to our list.

We have mailed primroses in every month from March to
November — all over the United States. They may be shipped
when in flower and will keep on blooming in their new home
without any interruption.

Plant either in Spring or Autumn when the temperature is
not too great, and be sure to plant in partial shade which pro¬
tects from the afternoon sun.

Have the soil deep and rich and the results will surprise
you, as no plants respond more freely than primroses to good
treatment.

Be sure and try Orange Glory. It is of magnificent color
and blooms both in the Spring and Autumn, and is extremely
fragrant.

Do not forget Hellebore Niger.
