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 seedling 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.
