Show The Holland Primrose. . There is a plant in Holland known as the evening even-ing primrose, Avhich grows to a height of five or six . feet and bears a' profusion of large yellow flowers so brilliant that they attract immediate attention, even at a great distance. ( But the chief peculiarity about the plant is the fact that the flowers, which open just before sunset, sun-set, burst into bloom so suddenly that they give one the ' impression of some magical agency. A man who has seen this sudden blooming saj-s it is just as if some one had touched the laud with a wand and thus covered it all at once with a golden sheet. |
