CIXERARIA. 



Seed should be sown from May to Sep- 

 tember for succession. Where only one 

 sowing is made, July should be pre- 

 ferred. Cinerarias grow so freely thnt 

 the seedling may go straight from the 

 seed-pans to ihumb-pots. After trans- 

 planting, place in a cold frame facing 

 north, if possible. When the pots be- 

 come full of roots, shift into larger ones 

 till the flowering size is reached. Our 

 strains are justly celebrated for all good 

 qualities, our Prize Dwarf and Tall being 

 especially noted for size, coloring and 

 texture. (See cur.) per pkt.
