Indoor Primulas from A to Z 
(Concluded from page 31) 
Seeds of these also germinate unevenly 
and the seed pans should be discarded 
late. The culture from seeds is pre¬ 
cisely as described for the commoner va¬ 
rieties until brought in in autumn. They 
should then receive a rest of six weeks 
or so, being stored in a dark cellar and 
watered only about once a week, just 
to prevent their becoming dust dry. This 
is particularly needful in the case of old 
divided plants. They may then be 
brought to the light and forced, when 
they will blossom steadily with great 
trusses of bloom for a period of about 
six weeks to two months. Many of them 
are fragrant, and though grown largely 
for winter forcing in England, are com¬ 
parative rarities in this country. 
One word as to the mistaken but prev¬ 
alent theory that primulas once forced 
are no good for succeeding years and 
are fit only for the ash heap. Starting 
with a few choice colors that were too 
rare to be thrown away without an at¬ 
tempt to save them, I have seen this 
theory so completely disproved that I 
wonder how it found its origin. 
All of the primulas mentioned in the 
accompanying experience chart may be 
successfully propagated by root division, 
and these plants in my own experience 
are as free in blooms as the seedlings, 
though a trifle later. 
By the time blossoming is over you 
will find your plants showing three or 
four easily differentiated sections. They 
look somewhat as though two or three 
seedlings had been planted close together 
in the same pot. These sections should 
be carefully separated, all but a few of 
the leaves removed, and each section 
planted deeply in a 2" or 3" pot of good 
soil. These little divisions or offshoots, 
many of them without roots, should be 
set in the shade and kept moist. They 
root as easily as geranium cuttings and 
in about six weeks you will have thrifty 
young plants. These may be successfully 
summered by plugging the holes in the 
bottoms of the pots so that the roots 
cannot strike through, and then sinking 
the pots level with their rims in any 
shady nook of the garden, where they 
need little attention except watering. 
PRIMULA CHART 
Cliinensis single—All colors but yellow; large round flowers almost as big as 
a quarter. 
Chinensis double—All colors but yellow; flowers like small carnations, as free 
blooming as tile single. 
■Stella —All colors but yellow; star-shaped flowers with rounded points. Very 
free in bloom. 
Obconica —AH colors but yellow; the freest flowering type. Poisonous to some 
people. 
Floribunda —Yellow; flowers small but very free. 
Kewensis —Yellow; flowers larger, slightly fragrant. More exacting in its de¬ 
mands, and I personally have had no luck \yith it. Extensively advertised. 
Veris or clatior —Yellow and various; hardy primulas of many unusual shades 
of bronze, orange, yellow, blue, crimson and laced and striped. Though 
primarily for garden use, they force beautifully. Slightly fragrant. 
Vulgaris —Yellow; the true romantic English primrose. l-Iowers beaut.ful and 
very sweet, but best bunched in a bouquet. Too inconspicuous a plant 
for good decorative effect. 
Malacoidcs —White, rose, lavender; very light feathery sprays of tiny flowers in 
great profusion. A new primula that is becoming very popular and is 
widely advertised. 
Forbcsii —Rosy lavender: the freest flowering primula known. Flowers small, 
hut borne continuously, even when plants are very young. 
The large flowering Chinese primroses are well represented by 
Giant White. They need a rich, heavy soil for best results
