SIEBOLDI 
SIEBOLDI 
The lovely, soft, crumply foliage, and the fine 
fringed flowers on 10 to 15 inch stems make 
beautiful flower arrangements. The plants 
flourish in cool, rich, light soil—light enough 
to permit them to spread by their creeping 
habit of growth. We’ve spent considerable 
effort in establishing an ideal combination of 
white, shell-pink, orchid, deep rose, and bluish 
lavender shades. Mixed colors only. Grow- 
ers’ Pkt. $1.00. 
FLORINDAE 
A moisture loving giant from 
Tibet, carrying enormous 
trusses of fragrant yellow 
blossoms on 3-foot stalks. 
Heart-shaped foliage. This is 
the largest and showiest prim- 
ula, with gorgeous umbels of 
30 to 40 florets. Put this one 
where you want the mid- 
summer exclamation point to 
be. Growers’ Pkt. $1.00.

Suggestions for Primula Growers 
February, March and April are the popular months 
for sowing primroses, because it aids germination 
to expose the flats or pots to alternate freezing 
and thawing, for a week or more, before removing 
them to a temperature of from 60° to 70° for ger- 
mination. Spring planted seed usually germinates 
in about 3 weeks. Freshly harvested seed, sowed 
in July, August or September usually germinates in 
from a week to ten days, except Asiatics, which do 
not germinate readily in warm weather. 
The Colossal Mixed strain of Polyanthus Primulas 
offers a great advantage to growers. Blooms are 
produced from ten days to two weeks earlier than . 
other strains, and this earliness combined with the 
unusually large florets means a lot in marketing 
blooming plants. 
ARTIFICIAL WINTER 
We recommend that primula seed be given a cold 
treatment before planting in order to assure 
prompt germination. Here‘’s a simple and effective 
method: 
Put a few drops of water in the packet containing 
the seed and shake gently until the seeds are 
coated with moisture; then freeze in the ice com- 
- partment of a household refrigerator for one week; 
remove and thaw for 24 hours; replace in the ice 
compartment for 24 hours; remove, thaw and sow. 
Many compliments are expressed at 
the sturdy plants, variety of colors and 
texture of blooms.
