CINERARIA. 



Seed should be sown from May to September for suc- 

 cession. Where only one sowing is made, July should be 

 preferred. Cinerarias grow so freely that the seedings may 

 go straight from the seed-pans to thumb-pots. After 

 transplanting, place in a cold frame facing north, if pos- 

 sible. When the pots become full of roots, shift into 

 larger ones till the flowering size is reached. Our Prize 

 strain is justly celebrated for all good qualities, being 

 especially noted for size, coloring and texture. (See cut.)
