PRIMULA MALACOIDES 
(Baby Primroses) 
A favorite pot plant for winter months, best sown in 
June before the summer heat, or in September. Sowings 
after October 15 seldom flower. Once plants are up they 
are easily grown. Give them cool temperatures and 
don’t let them dry out.

red, lavender, and white. 1 pkt. (500 seeds), $1.00. 
IMPATIENS (Sultanas) 
While listed in this section, Impatiens is one of the 
few annuals which can be depended upon to give an 
abundance of color throughout the summer in a shady

varieties listed on pages 14 and 15) do well in a night temperature of 50° with 57° on 
cloudy days and 65° on sunny days. 
Water carefully, adequately, and avoid wetting foliage. How often to water will depend 
on the weather, the size of the plants, and time of year. During dark, damp weather very 
little watering is necessary; during bright, dry weather it’s often difficult to keep up with 
this requirement of plant life. A good rule is water less often and more thoroughly. 
As a last reminder, be on the lookout for insect pests. Once they become well entrenched, 
they are hard to get rid of. 
DO YOU HAVE A “SHADE” PROBLEM? 
These annuals like more or less shade, and Fibrous Begonias 
will lend some life and color to that “difficult” Tuberous Begonias 
shady spot. Most of these items respond well to Coleus 
pinching, so don’t be afraid to pinch them back Salvia 
hard if they get too leggy. Impatiens
