 Matchless Giant Primulas 



PRIMULA SINENSIS 



My Primtila Sinefisis seed has been specially grown for me 

 by the most celebrated English Primula siiecialist. The flowers 

 are remarkable, not only for size, beauty and brilliancy of the 

 colors, but for the great substance of the petals. Considerable

care is necessary in order to secure the successful germination of the seed of the choice kinds of /'. Sinensis. Tlie most suitable periods 

 for sowing are April and May for autumn, and June, July and August for spring blooming. Shallow pans, well drained, are the best, the 

 soil consisting of sandy loam and leaf-mold, worked through a fine sieve ; the pans, when thus prepared, should be well watered before 

 the seed is sown. Only a slight covering of soil or sand is needed. What has most to be guarded against is drought ; the soil should be 

 kept in as equable a degree of moisture as possible, never being on the dry side I attribute more failures to this cause than to any other. 

 Just at the time when the seed commences to germinate the least departure from this is fatal.

PRIMULA OBCONICA GRANDIFLORA 



The following varieties are vast improvements on the old type of P. ob- 

 conica, being freer flowering and of sturdier habit. In habit and foliage 

 they resemble the beautiful P. cortusoides, and it is one of the most useful 

 Primulas for pot culture or for the open border during the summer months. 

 To obtain good plants for winter and early spring flowering, the seed should 

 be sown in warmth the previous April or May, and wintered in a cool 

 greenhouse or frame
