PRIMULA KEWENSIS. 



This fine new primula is a decided ac- 

 quisition for supplying decorative plants 

 during winter and spring, says a writer 

 in the Gardeners' Magazine. Seed of 

 P. Kewensia is now offered, but as P. 

 Kewensis is easily increased by division, 

 it seems hardly necessary to raise it from 

 seed. A stock of this primula may soon 

 be worked up from a few plants. Each 

 plant will have several growths or 

 crowns, and these are separated with a 

 sharp knife, and there are a few roots 

 attached to each; these will, if placed 

 in small pots, soon grow into nice plants. 

 For two or three weeks after division 

 they should be kept moderately close, 

 with a little warmth and moisture. After 

 making new roots, they may be removed 

 to a cool frame, as they succeed best 

 under cool treatment. 



The bright yellow flowers of P. Kewen- 

 sis make the plant extremely useful for 

 winter and for association with Chinese 

 primulas. The perfume of P. Kewensis 

 reminds one of the cowslip. The flowers 

 last well when cut, while their length of 

 spike gives them an advantage for cut- 

 ting over the varieties of P. Sinensis.

 gutter he can put out before August. 



New Brunswick, N. J. — E. Kitchen- 

 meister died recently at his home at
