21 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. Illustrated, page 31.
