Primula (Primrose) 



Primula Malacoldes. This new race of Primroses from the 

 mountains of China has proven most profuse-flowering for 

 pot culture. The plants form rosettes of light green leaves 

 from which numerous wiry stems — 8 to 10 inches in height — 

 gracefully carry whorls of flowers V£ to Ji of an inch across. 

 They are easily grown from seed flowering in about 4 months 

 from sowing, and continue to bloom for many weeks. A cool 

 situation indoors suits them to perfection.
