CINERARIA STELLATA. 



This type of cinerarias is now to be 

 had in a variety of forms which are use- 

 ful for general decorative purposes, and 

 likewise for cutting. For decorative 

 purposes they are greatly superior to 

 the older florists' varieties, on account 

 of the light appearance which the plants 

 have, and their increased height. An 

 objection is sometimes raised that cine- 

 rarias become dirty or infested with 

 aphis, which detracts from their useful- 

 ness. If the plants are placed in warm 

 houses or rooms they soon become tov- 

 ered with greenfly, but cinerarias, like 

 calceolarias, do not require warmth, and 

 are best grown under cool conditions for 

 whatever purpose they may be required. 



Several sowings should be made ac- 

 cording to requirements, and when the 

 plants are large enough for pricking out 

 a north or northwest aspect for a cool 

 frame is a good place to grow them. Un- 

 til the blooms commence to open, abun- 

 dance of air on all favorable occasions 

 should be given the plants; grown cool 

 in this manner it is surprising the 

 amount of frost cinerarias will stand, 

 and the length of time they remain in 

 bloom. 



In the variety Felthamensis we have 

 an improvement on the smaller-flowered 

 types of stellata or polyantha; the color 

 is also pleasing, but so far the plants 

 are dwarf, but if we can obtain some 

 that will grow to a height of from two 

 to three feet their value for decorations 

 will be increased. Another type is that 

 shown at the Royal Botanic Society's ex- 

 hibition by Jarman & Co., of Chard. 

 Here we have the fantastic cactus form 

 of flower, the rolled petals of the flowers 

 having a quilled appearance. The Chard 

 firm was awarded a certificate of merit 

 for the strain, which is quite fixed. We 

 have tested the lasting qualities of the 

 flowers when cut, and the plants make 

 pretty decorative subjects, as the pecu- 

 liar shaped blooms attract attention. 

 Not the least good point about them is 

 the diversity of coloring yielded by the 

 flowers. — Gardeners ' Magazine. 



I WANT to thank the Review for the 

 many orders it has brought me. — S. J.
