PRIMULA— CRIMSON KING. 
DANIELS’ SUPERB FRINGED PRIMULAS. 
DANIELS’ SDPEP FRINGED PRIMULAS. 
We give great attention, to the growth, and 
selection of our superb strains of choice Primulas, 
and we can highly recommend the seed we offer, 
which has been grown expressly for our retail 
trade. In habit of plant, size, brilliancy, and form 
of flowers, our Primulas are acknowledged to be 
unsurpassable. 
The beautiful varieties of Primula sinensis may be sown in 
March, April, May, and June. The earlier sown are, however, 
to be preferred for making fine strong plants with an abundance 
of bloom. Great care must be taken to have a well-drained pot or 
seed-pan filled to within half an inch of the top with sifted leaf- 
mould j leave the surface rather rough, and sprinkle the seeds 
thinly upon it. The most successful raisers do not cover with soil, 
but after sowing the seed press down the surface tolerably firm, 
and place a square of glass over the pot. Place in a good strong 
heat, shaded from strong light, and water very gently when the 
soil becomes dry. The seeds will germinate in two or three weeks, 
after which remove the glass and keep in a shady position. Pot 
off into small pots when the young plants are about half an inch 
above ground, and place near the glass in the frame or greenhouse. 
Intheir after culture Primulas should bo kept as near as convenient 
to the glass, have plenty of fresh air, and never be kept for a 
long period in a high temperature, or in a dry heated atmosphere.
