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 trans- 

 planting, 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. 



"DREER'S PRIZE STRAIN." 



This strain of Cineraria cannot be surpassed either for size of flowers or 

 beauty of color. Many of the blooms measure 3 inches in diameter and 

 rarely under 2 inches. We have received very flattering reports from florists 

 and private gardeners of their success with our Cineraria seed. All desiring 

 the best should procure our prize strain.
