PRIMULA SINENSIS. 



{Chinese Primrose) 

 Our strains of these noble flowers ar3 the 

 finest in cultivation, and their excellence is 

 acknowledged by hundreds of the most criti- 

 cal gardeners and florists all over the coun- 

 try, who purchase regularly of us. 



Owing to our personal acquaintance with ex- 

 hibitors and growers in Euroi)e, we are enablnl to 

 engage our supi)lies from these specialists annu- 

 ally, who reserve their seeds for us. 



The Primula Sinensis are among the best 

 flowers for house or greenhouse. Seeds may be 

 sown in spring or autumn, in gentle heat; trans- 

 plant singly, wheii large enough, and re-pot as they 

 grow. The soil should be sandy loam and peat, 

 enriched with a little decayed cow-manure, and 

 kept open with small nodules of charcoal. Tender 

 perennials.

 select flowers; large in size, rich and
