PRIMULA (Primrose) 
The charming and beautiful Chinese Fringed Primroses and Obconica 
varieties are among the most important winter-blooming pot-plants. The 
seed we offer is of the highest merit, and has, as usual, been saved from the 
best strains of European growth. Seed sown in April will bloom during early 
winter; August for spring blooming. Sow in shallow pans, in soil consisting 
of part sand and leaf-mold worked through a fine sieve and allow for good 
drainage. Cover seeds lightly and water frequently; give a temperature of 
about 65 degrees. Hardy types may be sown in the open ground; mostly 
they do best in a moist, partly shaded situation.
