CINERARIAS AND VERBENAS. 



One of the brightest and most satis- 

 factory plants that can be used to beau- 

 tify a shady, moist place is the cineraria. 

 With us these plants are perennials and 

 if the situation is suitable for them they 

 will come up from the root indefinitely. 

 As they seed themselves it requires no 

 particular care to have them by thou- 

 sands. It is a surprise to me that some 

 of our growers do not cultivate the cin- 

 eraria for seed. The plants make mag- 

 nificent crowns of the most gorgeous 

 flowers and produce big plump seeds in 

 enormous quantities. We cannot import 

 such large, well filled seed from Europe 

 and it seems to me that there must be 

 a great deal of money that is allowed 

 to go to waste, judging by the high 

 prices asked for this popular flower in 

 other places and with us it is considered 

 little better than a wild flower. The 

 cineraria succeeds splendidly in any 

 shady situation either in complete shade 

 under trees, where there are not too 

 many roots near the surface, or in partial 

 shade of buildings or fences. They seem 

 to like a loose, rich soil and plenty of 

 water; when they are supplied they grow 

 as high as four feet, with hundreds of 

 big, shiny blossoms and are never out 

 of bloom from one season to another. 



Verbenas are also a perennial article 

 with us and as they stand considerable 

 cold weather there is no particular dan- 

 ger from frosts. They do not, however, 

 do anything more than hold their owii 

 during our severe wet weather and such 

 a season as we have just had on account 

 of the superabundance! of water seems to 

 be more than they can stand. As far as 

 I have seen, we are not troubled witli 

 rust or smut on our plants and here, 

 again, is where the seed grower should 

 turn his attention. Our verbenas flower 

 freely ten months in the vear and a 

 single plant will cover a "quantity of 

 space with a wealth of showy flowers.
