Tha Holland Primronn.

There is a plant In Holland, known
as the evening primrose. which 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 popularity about the plant
Is the fact that the flowers, which open
just before sunset, burst into bloom so
suddenly that they give one the impress
