260 BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 



which the Camellia-flowered is one of the best types is one of 

 the most familiar examples. The Browallia is a pretty plant that 

 thrives in a cool greenhouse. Alonsoa Warscewiczii, with bright 

 scarlet flowers, is useful. Dwarf Bouquet Asters are suitable for 

 pots, and Mignonette is often grown in pots, especially for winter 

 blooming; Nemesias may be grown in the greenhouse. Petunias, 

 especially the double fringed, are much in demand for this purpose. 

 The Rhodanthe is a charming everlasting suitable for pot culture. 

 Ten-week Stocks are frequently pressed into service. 



All the flowers named can be raised by sowing in boxes in a 

 warm greenhouse in spring, pricking the plants out into other 

 boxes when they get thick, subsequently transferring them to small 

 pots, and from 'these to larger when the small ones are filled with 

 roots. See fuller remarks as to the management of young plants 

 in the chapter on Greenhouse, Conservatory, and Hothouse Flowers. 



In the case of Mignonette and Rhodanthes about half-a-dozen 

 plants are generally grown together in a 5 or 6 inch pot. Mig- 

 nonette seed is sown direct in the flowering pot, as it does not 

 transplant well.
