PRIMULA CHINENSIS. (Chinese Primrose.) 
Most useful plants for conservatory and house decora- 
tion during winter and spring. They are of easy cul- 
ture, although considerable care is necessary to secure 
successful germination of the choice sorts; the finer 
the flowers of a strain, the weakerits germination. The 
most important condition is to keep the soil steadily and 
evenly moist without disturbing the seeds, which should 
be very lightly covered, until their germination. 
Our Primulas are saved from the leading private 
Pkt. 
and 
commercial collections in Europe and are the finest in 
existence. They received the Medal and Diploma at 
World’s Fair.
