CHINESE PRIMULA 
We note a revival of interest in this class that can be ac¬ 
counted for by the full list of attractive colors now available. 
To produce strong plants for Christmas, sow early in June. An 
outdoor frame and under a lightly shaded sash is a good place 
to summer them from which they should be moved to a light 
carnation house. Following are the finest fringed varieties.

any class approaches this color. Comes 100% true.
