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 be- 

 come full of roots, shift into larger ones till the flowering size is reached.
