This primrose is persistent-flowering and will easily last until Easter in a cool house. In fact, it will bloom until June if wanted. Keep the faded flow- ers and seeds removed and continue to feed with cow manure as you are doing? C. W. EFFECT OF SULPHUR IN WATER. We are in need of information re- garding the use of water from a sul- phur water well, for irrigation. What effect will it have on flowering plants, such as sweet peas and asters, and what effect on the soil? We thought that perhaps some of the readers of The Beview might have had experience along this line. We have a sulphur water well which will furnish all the supply we shall need and there is no other water available. D. E. W.
