DANIELS’ SUPERB FRINGED PRIMULAS 
It is with very much pleasure that we oiler the grand strains of Primulas named below, all of which have been 
specially grown for our retail trade, and will give the highest satisfaction. The flowers will be found of great size and perfect 
form, combined with the most brilliant and charming colours, and a habit of plant which leaves nothing to be desired. 
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 an abundance of bloom. Great eare must be taken to have a well-drained pot or seed-pan filled to within half an inoh of the 
top with sifted leaf-mould; leave the surface rather rough, and sprinkle the seeds thinly upon it. The most successful raisers do not oover with 
soil, but after sowing the seed press down the surfaoe 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 beoomes dry. The 
I seeds will germinate in two or three weeks, after whiob remove the glass 
and keep in a shady position. Pot off into small pots when the young 
plants are about half an inoh above ground, and plaoe near the glass in 
the frame or greenhouse. In their after oulture 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.
