Seed should be sown fiom May to September for succes- 

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

 preferred. Cinerarias grow so freely that the seedling may 

 go straight from the seed-pans to thumb-pots. After trans- 

 planting, place in a cold frame facing north, if pcssible. 

 When the pots become full of roots, shift 

 into larger ones till the flowering size is 

 reached.

 brida grandiflora is saved for us by one of

 vidual blooms rarely measure less than 3 

 inches across, and for range of color and 

 texture is not equaled by any other strain

 riety 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 or
