i PRIMULA Malacoides "King: 
NOVELTY. I Albert.”— Much larger and more free- 
■ — flowered than the type. The beautiful 
clean soft rose blooms have an almost circular outline, 
which greatly adds to the value of this variety as a 
decorative plant. This beautiful Primula is not by any 
means a difficult subject to cultivate. The seed should 
be sown in succession, making say three sowings during 
July and August, in finely sifted soil, and kept moist until 
thoroughly germinated. A cool shady frame kept close is the 
best place in which to raise the seedlings, gradually giving 
more air as the seedlings grow. They should be pricked out 
into boxes as soon as they are large enough to handle, and still 
kept in frames. As growth is very rapid, they should be potted 
into (iO's pots as soon as possible, repeating this operation as 
soon as the pots are full of roots, into 48's. The soil for this 
potting should be two parts loam, one part sifted leaf mould, 
and a good addition of sand, while a little crushed brick or old 
mortar rubble is very helpful. A cool pit or frame is the very best 
place until November, when the plants may be placed on a shelf 
in a cold house, and not kept too moist, as damping is very 
liable during the dull months. As soon as the buds are seen 
pushing upward, a very slight feeding of manure may be given 
and also a warmer atmosphere. Keep 
all dead leaves picked off. and at all 
seasons watering must be done with 
the greatest care.

DOUBLE VARIETIES. 
5017 Carters Oakleaf.— ' This variety marks a decided step forward 
in the cult of the Primula. Its deeply laciniated foliage makes 
it appear at all times an object of lightness, gracefulness, 
and beauty, being in strong contrast to the majority of Primulas. 
The flowers, which are of a rich rose-pink colour, are firmly 
fixed in the calyx, the truss being carried well above the foliage 
on a stiff stem, making it by nature of its lightness invaluable 
for all decorations. Per pkt.. 1/6 and 2/6
