CIXBRARIA. 



Seed should be sown from May to September for succes- 

 sion. Where only one sowing is made, July should be pre- 

 ferred. 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 till the flowering size 

 is reached. Our prize strain is justly celebrated for all good 

 qualities, being especially noted for size, coloring ; nd texture.

 this ])roved to be the finest Cleome 

 we had ever seen. The plant attains a height of 3i feet, well branched, 

 each branch terminated by a large head of bright rosy-crimson flowers,

 subject for large beds or for interspersing in the mixed flower or shrubbery 

 border, and is used extensively in many of the public parks. Seed should 

 be sown in the open ground as soon as the weather is warm and settled, 

 and the plants given sufficient room to develop their full beauty. } oz., 25c. 10
