Among Our Primulas Are the Best Strains That European Growers Produce 
Primula obconica 
Primula 
( Primrose ) 
GREENHOUSE PLANTS AND PERENNIALS 
The charming and beautiful Fimbriata and Obconica varieties are among our most im¬ 
portant winter-blooming plants. 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.

Poppies 
Annual Poppies may be sown in the spring 
where they are to remain, as they do not

out to stand about 6 inches apart for best 
results. Seed may also be sown in August or 
September for early flowering next spring. 
Removing old blooms from plants will help 
lengthen the flowering season.
