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 care must be taken to have a well-drained pot or seed-pan filled to within half an inch of the 
top, with°siftod leaf-mould : leave the surface rather rough, and sprinkle the seeds thinly upon it. The most successful raisers do not cover with 
■soib 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 throe 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. 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.
