Japanese Chrysanthemum 



Cineraria. 



Seed should be sown from May to September for succes- 

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

 ferred. Cinerarias grow so freely that the seedlings 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 

 2\ inches in diameter, and none will be smaller than a silver 

 ■dollar. We have received very flattering reports from florists 

 and private gardeners of their success with our Cineraria 

 eeed. All desiring the best should procure our prize strain.
