third sand. Drainage must be perfect. An ex¬ 
posure to the east so as to give protection against 
the midday sun is essential. The soil should be 
moist but never wet. Avoid water lodging 
around the crown and protect in winter with 
hardwood leaves of evergreen boughs. Ihe 
Primulas of the Auricula group appreciate a 
soil a bit more gritty and generally are lime 
lovers. They also can stand more sun if soil 
is cool.
