PRIMULA MALACOIDES 
{12,000 seeds per #5 oz.) 
This popular pot plant Primula may be sown from 
June on for Valentine’s Day and later. Sowings 
made in August and early September make nice 3 
inch plants for spring combinations. Sowings after 
October Ist are not advisable because of the vary- 
ing percentage of blind plants that may result. 
Malacoides Primulas are susceptible to a form of 
crown rot that is best controlled by keeping plants 
uniformly moist and in a temperature of not over 
50°; 45° is even better. Sow seed only in sterile 
unfertilized material since soils with a nitrate level 
of over 20 ppm. may result in poor germination. 
We supply hand pollinated seed of our own grow- 
ing only, except for the Doubles, which we offer in 
the originator’s own packets.
