Primula Sieboldi (Cortusoides.) 
Japanese Primulas. 
A pretty class of Primulas producing large heads of charmingly fringed flowers, ranging from 
white, crimson, mauve, to lavender-blue; splendid for shaded border or rock garden. They like a 
light soil with a mixture of leaf soil and decayed manure. As pot plants for a cool house they are 
very suitable. The flowers under glass have a delicacy of tint and beauty seldom seen out of doors

Primula Sinensis Fimbriata. 
“The Chinese Primrose Clibrans’ Strain. 
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.
