PRIMROSE CULTURAL NOTES 
Seeds of hardy Primroses should be sown in pots 
or pans as early in the year as possible, and after 
a good watering, should be covered with a piece 
of glass and placed outdoors against a north hedge 
or wall where the soil will be frozen. Then when 
milder weather sets in, bring the pots into gentle 
warmth and the seeds will germinate freely. For 
sowing at other times of the year, seed may be 
placed in the refrigerator for similar effect. The 
seeds are often tardy in starting, and should be 
placed in a seed bed where they will note be dis- 
turbed until seeds have had time to germinate. 
Primulas need partial shade, rich, porous soil with 
plenty of humus such as leaf mold. They like the 
east side of hill, shelter from wind, good drainage.

The beautiful single and double Pyrethrums are 
hardy perennials blooming in May and June. 
When the blooming period is over, they may be 
cut back heavily, which will cause them to have 
a second blooming period later in the summer. 
The single kinds are extremely light and effective, 
and last a long time in perfection. The double 
kinds are exquisite in form and coloring, and 
are one of our most popular perennials. Don’t fail 
to add these to your order.
