SCHIZ A ;4TH VS 



(Butterfly or Fringe Flower) 



This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, especially 

 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 pyramid of the most delicate and charming 

 bloom. The Schizanthus make admirable pot plants for the house in late 

 winter and early spring. For this purpose sow in the autumn.
