152 CULTIVATION. 



British collections, particularly a very shewy one, 

 Primula sinensis^ from China, which is at present 

 a great favourite. As this is a pretty hardy, 

 free-growing plant, there is no doubt that, by 

 high cultivation in highly compounded soils, it 

 may assume all the diversity of form and co- 

 lour so remarkable in its congener of European 

 orijrin.
