Our Strain ok Primula Sinensis is Unsurpassed.

Primula Sinensis Fimbriata. 
“The Chinese Primrose ’—Clibrans’ Strain— (See illustration page 16). 
We have given much attention to improving the Primula and the result is a very fine strain 
equalling any we have seen in size of flower, freedom, habit and colour. The flowers are of 
immense size, round, of the finest substance, beautifully fringed, and most distinct and varied 
in colour. A rich mixture of loam, leaf-mould, manure, and sand is the best compost for them. 
Careful attention should be given to ventilation, watering, and shading. They require plenty of 
water in the Summer, but in Autumn and Winter it must be used most sparingly.

Rhododendrons (Greenhouse Varieties). 
Should be potted very firmly in fibrous peat and silver sand with ample drainage. After potting 
keep ill a moist atmosphere in a gentle heat. Water carefully until the roots have commenced 
to run in the new compost, after which the supplies must be gradually increased. When the growth 
is completed give plenty of air to enable the wood to ripen and develop flower buds. They should 
not be over-potted ; every third year is usually sufficiently frequent, the most favourable time being 
April and Mav. .. . .
