PRIMULA MALACOIDES 
This new race of Primroses from the mountains of China has proven 
most profuse-flowering for pot culture. The plants form rosettes of light 
green leaves from which numerous wiry stems—’8 to 10 inches in 
height — gracefully carry whorls of flowers H to % of an inch across. 
They are easily grown from seed and commence flowering in about 
4 months from sowing and continue to bloom in increasing profusion 
for many weeks. A cool situation indoors or in the conser¬ 
vatory suits them to perfection. (See cut.)
