appointments we at last succeeded in raising a o' 
variety possessing the coveted prize ; and after < 
our esteemed customers have seen a flower, we 
quite expect one and all to say, “ We are quite 
entitled to a gold medal from the nation.” At 
all events, of this we are quite certain, that if 
placed before anyone interested in such matters, 
they would say and write as we have done.

PRINCESS MARY — Our variety named 
White Psrjeetion is known and valued through- 
out the world. This is also a pure white, but 
of the highest quality flower, so overlapping is 
its petals that it well-nigh resembles the outline 
of a gigantic double. Its fimbriation is not 
approached by any other kind ; habit good ; 
and very free, those who have honoured us 
with a visit have probably observed the lovely 
parsley-shaped leaves. The original was called 
Crispifolia, but its flowers were of the poorest 
description. The question was to put a really 
good flower on this ornamental foliage plant,

HOW TO GROW PRIMULAS. 
E OW often and how true it is remarked that England could double its present prodnee if the art of 
cultivation was better understood. The precisely same remark applies to Primulas — and, in 
fact, to all flowers, three-parts of which are positively starved and ill-treated. First, make yourself 
master of what creates health and vigour in a plant, and what will injure it, and its effect, and what 
loss is sustained by that injury. To thoroughly understand all this, see all our cultural remarks, 
particularly “ How to grow soft-wooded plants to the height of perfection.” Sow the seed in May, 
and again in June, on a level surface of soil, composed of two parts rotten turfy loam, one of partly 
rotten leaf mould, one of decayed eow-manure, and a small quantity of sea-sand; this mixture of 
soil will do for all growths and potting. Just cover over the seed with some light material (sifted
