PORTULACA (Sun Plant). 
One of our finest hardy annual plants, of easy culture, thriv- 
ing best in a rather rich, light loam or sandy soil, and luxuria- 
ting in an exposed sunny situation; the flowers are of the richest 
colors, and produced throughout the summer in great profusion; 
fine for massing in beds, edgings or rock-work, and frequently 
used to sow broadcast over sunny banks, etc.; in any case it is 
well to mix the seed with three or four times its bulk of dry 
sand or soil, which permits an even and easy distribution of the 
seed; -6 inches.

bears small racemes 
of rosy-purple; pea- 
shaped blossoms 
toward the close of 
August. A splendid 
subject for covering 
permanently veran- 
das, dead trees, etc.

PRIMULA OBCONICA. 
These are of the earliest culture in greenhouse or light window of dwell- 
ing house, flowering abundantly and continuously with little care, and should 
be sown during the spring in good porous loam, They will not germinate 
well in any compost containing peat or leaf mould. To develop the colors 
to the highest degree, grow in heavy soil, and at a temperature as near 60 
degrees as possible. The Grandiflora varieties are the freest-flowering, but 
lack the very large individual blooms of the newer Gigantea type. prr pxr.
