ChRYSANTH EMUM 



Annual. 



CINERARIA. 



Seed should be sown 

 from May to September for 

 succession. Where only 

 one sowing is made, July 

 should be preferred. Cin- 

 «rarias grow so freely that 

 the seedling may go 

 straight from the seed-pans 

 to thumb-pots. After trans- 

 planting, place in a cold 

 frame facing north, if pos- 

 sible. When the pots be- 

 • «ome full of roots, shift into 

 larger ones till the flower- 

 ing size is reached. Our 

 Prize strain is justly cele- 

 brated for all good quali- 

 ties, being especially noted 

 for size, coloring and tex- 

 ture. (See cut.)
