HYBRID CINERARIAS. Dil

cross made by Mr. James, and described by Mr. Rolfe in the Gardeners’ 
Chronicle of August 6, 1898, p. 101; but habit was less ‘governed by 
cruentus, judging from the description referred to. The plants were tall, 
very floriferous, with small flower-heads, the ray varying in colour from

and Mr. Burbidge, I believe, proposed that they should be called summer 
Asters. Heritieri x multiflorus had much the habit of multiflorus, with 
flowers intermediate. Cruentus x Tussilaginis and Tussilaginis x 
cruentus were very much alike, and certain plants, indeed, came very near 
what ap early Cineraria might have been, but wanting, at least, descent 
from a better cruentus. Multiflorus x cruentus grew tall with broad, 
loose heads, and though showing variation, was, perhaps, fairly inter-
