SCHia: ANTHrS Butterfly or Fringe Hower). 



This is one of the f iriest and daintiest flowers imaginable, 

 especially adapted to bordering beds of taller flowers and 

 those of a heavier growth. The seeds germinate quickly 

 and come into bloom in a few weeks from sowing. The 

 florescence is such as to completely obscure the foliage, 

 making the plant a veritable pyramid of the most delicate 

 and charming bloom. The Schizanthus make admirable 

 pot plants for the house in late winter and early spring. 

 For this purpose ^ow in the autumn.
