Primula Obconica 



These are of the easiest culture in greenhouse or light window of dwelling 

 house, flowering abundantly and continuously with little care, and should be 

 sown in good porous loam. They tsoU not germinate well in any compost con- 

 taining 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 indi\'id- 

 ual blooms of the newer Gigantea type.
