'Pri'mula Sibbolw. 
(CORTUSOIDES AMOENA.) 
|fi^jOMrAKAT I VKLY speaking, this is a new class of Primula, and since introduced has been 
wonderfully improved, in fact the flowers Imve been made double and in some varieties treble 
the size, therefore they have become nearly as indispensable as Cyclamen, Cinerarias, &c., for 
greenhouse decoration, and also for the garden, as they are hardy ; in winter they die down to their 
fleshy roots, and beyond keeping them moderately dry they are no trouble until they arc required fo 
be pushed on for flowering, when they merely want the protection of u cold greenhouse, and potting 
in ordinary soil. Afterwards they can be kc]‘)t out of doors.
