The Baby Primrose 



This is a variety of Primula obconica, of compara- 

 tively recent introduction. Its flowers are very small, 

 individually — hence its name — ^but there are so many 

 of them, and they are produced so constantly, that we 

 have few more eflfective plants for winter use. They 

 range in color from nearly white to rosy lilac. They 

 require the same treatment as P. obconica, and should 

 be grown from seed, or by division of the old roots. 

 Plants intended for next winter's use should be started 

 in spring.
