HENRY A. DREER, 
Schizanthus-—Butterfly or Fringe Flower ® 
This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, es- 
pecially 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 pyra- 
mid of the most delicate and charming blooms. The Schizanthus 
make admirable pot plants for the house in late winter and early 
spring. For this purpose sow in the autumn.
