Cineraria Hybrida 



Beautiful flowering plants for the house or conservatory during the spring months. 



Seed should be sown from May to September for succession. Where only one sowing is made, 

 July should be preferred. Cinerarias grow so freely that the seedlings may go straight from the 

 seed-pans to thumb-pots. After transplanting, place in a cold frame facing north, if possible. 

 When the pots become full of roots, shift into larger ones tiU the flowering size is reached. Our 

 prize strain is justly celebrated for all good qualities, being especially noted for size, coloring and 

 texture.
