PRIMULA OBCONICA 
Owing to the rapid loss of germination in this class of Primula seed, 
we have it put up by our German grower in sealed glass containers. 
This removes all question of seed germination if carefully handled. 
In sowing this seed do so in sandy, well-drained, sterilized soil. While 
uniform moisture is necessary, seed rots because of soil being kept 
to wet. For this reason it must be sandy to insure its not staying wet 
too long after watering.
