POPPIES 
Good annual varieties of tlie Poppy are numerous, ranging in size from the little Ranunculus-

PRIMULA. 
(Chinese Primrose) 
Sow from March to June for succession. Seeds 
are slow in germinating. When sowing px-ess the 
seeds well into the soil, as they are apt to rise to 
the surface, especially if carelessly watered. Prick 
off thinly into boxes, and allow them to remain 
until of good size. Keep well exposed to the light 
to promote a sturdy growth. From first to last 
avoid using a close or heavy soil; or shifting them 
until the pots are well filled with roots. Over- 
potting and over-watering are the main causes of 
failure with this class of plants.
