^HE Auricula Show.— That the annual 
exhibition at the Drill Hall of the 
National Auricula and Primula Society is 
so near, shows us the rapid advance of 
spring, even if no other evidences were 
found. Another week or two and then we 
shall be seeing the beautiful forms of the 
Primulacea in all their exceeding variety 
and charms, amongst which the garden 
sections—Auriculas and Polyanthuses—■ 
will be chief. We do not know how far 
the season may have favoured a good 
bloom on the former, practically the lion of 
the show, but it would seem as if the 
trusses were pushing very early and that 
some change to a cooler temperature may 
be needful to check too ready development. 
Everyone familiar with these plants 
know that a little pushing is much easier 
than is retardation, but to experienced 
growers doubtless both processes are 
available as desired. It is the little or 
purely amateur grower, after all the most 
interesting element in competitions, who 
find most difficulty in varying the condition 
of his plants so as to secure the finest 
bloom at the most favourable season. Just 
now most growers find a little shading 
indispensable, because the sun is at mid¬ 
day powerful and gives a warmth that is 
as unusual in April as it is trying to hardy 
plants. Still, it is in overcoming difficulties 
of this description that the capacities of 
the grower become so valuable. He is, 
indeed, an indifferent cultivator who cannot
