SEEDS 
Seeds of Primulas may be sown in pots or flats, out of doors at 
any time from March through June. We use a compost of 1/3 loam, 
1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 coarse sand, which we sterilize by placing 
out compost in a pot in boiling water, and boiling for twenty minutes. 
As soon as the soil has cocled to a workable degree the seeds are 
sown on the soil and dusted lightly with peat moss passed through 
a flour sifter. The flats are then put in a shaded spot, and will 
germinate in from 10 days to six weeks. As soon as they are large 
enough to handle we prick them out into flats, and from there move 
them to beds when they are big enough to take care of themselves. 
Any time that the plants are transplanted we recommend the use of 
Transplantone and a complete, water soluble fertilizer such as 
Plant Chem or Hyponex. All of the seeds we list this year we have 
found very easy to grow, giving excellent germination. Priced per 
packet of about 200-300 seeds.
