Primula— Pr/mro^e 



The charming and beautiful Chinese Fringed Primrose and 

 Obconica varieties are indispensable for winter or spring decora- 

 tions in the home or conservatory. They are one of the most 

 important winter blooming pot plants. Sow in March, April, or 

 May. 



Giant Primula obconica |tp] 



These are of the easiest culture in greenhouse or in a light 

 window of the house, flowering abundantly and continuously 

 with little care. 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.
