deeek's pkize cineraria 



The seeds may be sown any time during the early 

 summer, in finely prepared, rich soil. As soon as large 



enough to handle, the little plants should be trans- 



CAMPANULA MEDIUM (Canterbury Bells) 



planted to the places where they are to bloom the following 

 summer. Some evergreen branches, or a little straw or coarse 

 hay, thrown over them when the ground begins to freeze, makes 

 all the winter covering these plants require. In the spring a 

 little fine manure and some bone meal should be dug about each plant. 

 Calycanthema [Cup and Saucer Canterbury Bells). This is unquestion- 

 ably the finest type of this old-fashioned and much-prized garden 

 plant. They differ from the ordinary type in having an extra large 

 calyx, which is of tire same color as the flower, giving the appear- 

 ance of a cup and saucer. We offer them in separate colors as well 

 as in mixture, viz. :

CINERARIA 



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 till the flower- 

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

 qualities, being especially noted for size, coloring and texture.

 spreading panicles of starry flowers in the same variety of 

 colors as the ordinary Cineraria; the extreme grace and elegance 

 of the plant and flowers make them wonderfully effective for 

 the decoration of the house and conservatory, and especially so 

 for church decoration; also useful for cutting 26
