PRIMULA SINENSIS.
FROM CUTTINGS,
Although usually raised from seed, there are times, especially when an extra "■ood variety has appeared, when it would bo advisable to propagate by cuttings. Tho method is, after tho plants have flowered to place round the collar or stem of tho plant a sandy compost. This must bo kept moist, and if no other
method is possible the plant should be stood in a. bucket of water and allowed to soak. Side shoots that are produced will root into this material, and when they have made a few roots can be taken off with a sharp knife and potted on in a sandy soil, being treated somewhat similarly to seedlings.
