(CORTUSOIDES AMCENA.) 
m^OMPARATIVELY speaking, this is a new class of Primula, and since introduced has been 
wonderfully improved, in fact the flowers have 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, ns they are hardy ; in winter they die down to their 
fleshy roots, and beyond keeping them moderately dry they are no trouble until they are required to 
be pushed on for flowering, when they merely want the protection of a cold greenhouse, and potting 
in ordinary soil. Afterwards they can be kept out of doors.
