Cineraria Hybrida 
Beautiful flowering plants for the house or conservatory during the spring months. 
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 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. Our prize strain is justly celebrated for all good 
qualities, being especially noted for size, coloring and texture.
