PRIMEVERE. Lemoine, 1907.) 8.6.
Anemone type; medium size; midseason. A flattish flower with creamy white, cupped guards rarely splashed with red; center composed of short, narrow petals of canary-yellow, becoming light with age; moderately fragrant. Tall; floriferous; stems lax. Good, dark green, rather coarse foliage.
Very much like Laura Dessert, which see. One of the very best of the so-called yellows. A profuse bloomer. Stems rather weak and need support. See color illustration.
"The habit of Primevere is so distinct from that of Laura Dessert that I feel there is plenty of room for both. Furthermore, if it came to a question of discarding one of them, I should vote to keep Primevere as on the whole the more beautiful flower, though I know that many of my colleagues would take the other view." Saunders.
"With me Laura Dessert is distinct from Primevere. I consider Laura Dessert a better yellow, holding its color much longer."—Christman.
"Laura Dessert is distinct with me."—Fewkes.
"Laura Dessert and Primevere, as grown by us, are very different both in bloom and in plant. Primevere is also much more dependable."—Brand.
