 growing in the Orkneys, and in a few places in the North 

 of Scotland ; it resembles the last, but is smaller. All 

 the varieties of Primrose, Cowslip, and Auricula, may 

 be easily propagated by dividing the roots in autumn. 

 JSTew varieties are raised from seed, which should be 

 sown as soon as ripe in leaf-moulol, and pricked out 

 into beds when large enough.
