CINERARIA. 



Seed should be sown from May to September for succession. 

 Where only one sowing is made, July should be preferred. Cine- 

 rarias grow so freely that the seedlings 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. 

 "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 

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