PRIMULA SINENSIS. 
(CHINESE PRIMROSE.) 
Many persons seem to think Primulas are suc¬ 
cessfully propagated only in a greenhouse, hence 
we find amateurs often reluctant to attempt their 
culture. They are unequaled as winter bloom¬ 
ers, easily grown, if the right conditions are ob¬ 
served, and give a succession of flowers through¬ 
out the season, and are prized for both the beauty 
and their delicate fragrance, Single fringed,
