With conditions favorable, how long should Primula obconica continue flow- ering? We have some that began flow ering about January lO. Wo should like to hold some of thetn until Easter if this can be successfully done. They are in 5-inch and 6-inch pots and are well flowered. We are giving them. Jubaea Spectabilis. li(iuid cow nuinure every week or ten days. Tiiey have a nice head of flowers, with si)ikes in all stages of growth. T. S. M. This primrose is persistent-flowering and will easily last until Kaster in a cool house. In fact, it will bloom until .Funo if wanted. Keep the fade<l flow crs and seeds removed and continue to feed with cow manure as vou are doing? C. W. EFFECT OF SULPHUR IN WATER.

A small amount of sulphur would not he injurious and
