The beautiful varieties of Primula sinensis may bo sown in 
March, April, May, and June. The earlier sown are, however, 
to be preferred for making fine strong plants with au 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 
loaf-mould; leave the surface rather rough, and sprinkle the 
Beeds 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 yonng plants 
are about half an inch above ground, and place near the glass in 
the frame or greenhouse. In their after culture Primulas should 
be 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.
