FOR PRIMROSE ADVENTURE 
If you would glorify your garden with Primroses, give 
them coolness, a bare trifle of shade, and rich moist soil. 
Even the shallowest of depressions, a mere scooped basin 
an inch deep, that will gather more than its share of rain 
may make all the difference between struggling survival and 
splendid fulfillment. No undrained sogginess, though. 
Primula seed is sometimes a bit slow in germinating, 
but, with patience, rather sure. It may come in two weeks; 
it may take two months; it has even on occasion been 
known to take two years. Why it is thus temperamental 
has not been quite figured out. We only know that it is 
not safe to discard any sowing of it, for it is just about 
certain to germinate sooner or later.
