Annual Varieties ® 



The annual Chrysanthemums or Painted Daisies are very 

 showy and effective favorites which should be used more widely 

 because they are easy to grow and give a splendid display in the 

 garden besides yielding plenty of flowers for cutting. They grow 

 about 2 feet high and bear a profusion of large, daisy-like flowers 

 carried upright on fine, strong stems. The varieties represented 

 are all very showy and colorful.

Cremer's Prize 

 Strain Cineraria 



1954 Cremer's Wilt-Resistant 

 Prize-Strain of Cineraria 



This splendid new strain of Cineraria has many outstanding 

 features that recommend it to those who have the facilities to 

 grow this showy pot plant. It is the result of intercrossing Multi- 

 flora nana, Hybrida grandiflora, and Stellata. The flowers are 

 larger than those of multiflora but the plants are equally as free 

 blooming. The habit of the plants is very compact and the leaves 

 are small. When in full bloom the entire plant is simply covered 

 by one solid mass of flowers. The color range is truly wonderful 

 representing all desirable shades. Pkt. 50c; originator's special 

 pkt. S2.25.
