PRIMULA SINENSIS. 



CBINESE PBIMBOSE. 



No winter blooming plant is more generally ad- 

 mired than the Primula, and none that we know 

 of is more deserving of admiration. Although a 

 greenhouse plant, it always succeeds well in the 

 parlor, giving general satisfaction. It prefers a 

 cool to a hot atmosphere, therefore should be 

 given a place at a wfndow in the coolest room 

 convenient; water carefully, taking care not to 

 spill any in the flower buds or center of the plant, 

 as it causes them to rot. Propagate in spring by 

 cuttings, division of the plant, or seed sown in 

 May. The soil should be of a light rich nature.

 among the foremost for beauty, usefulness and 

 extreme ease of culture. As a bloomer it has few 

 equals, for flowers may be picked from it all the 

 year round, although it produces most profusely 

 during the wintermonths. The color of the flower 

 is a beautiful pale lilac, at times almost pure 

 white. Price, 25c each.
