soft rose blooms have an almost circular outline, which greatly 
adds to the value of this variety as a decorative plant. This 
beautiful Primula is not by any means a difficult subject to culti¬ 
vate. The seeds hould be sown in succession, making, say, three 
sowings during July and August, in finely sifted soil, and kept 
moist until thoroughly germinated. A cool shady frame kept 
close is the best place in which to raise the seedlings, gradually 
giving more air as the seedlings grow. A cool pit or frame is 
the very best place until November, when the plants may be 
placed on a shelf in a cold house, and not kept too moist, as 
damping is very liable during the dull months. As soon as the 
buds are seen pushing upwards, a very 
slight feeding of manure may be given 
and also a warmer atmosphere.
