PRIMROSE (Primula sinensis Sab.) AT HOME: SAM YU TUNG GLEN, ICHANG: 
From China our gardens first secured the early varieties of roses, camellias, azaleas, 
greenhouse primroses, gardenias, moutan ponies, chrysanthemums, etc. We have developed 
most of these plants beyond recognition, and the Chinese are now requiring new forms and 
varieties from us. Yet without these early arrivals from Chinese gardens our conservatories 
and gardens would be very poor today.
