HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— ELOWER SEEDS 



45 



CANTERBURY BEI.LS. 



^Caunpanula Medium.) 



The seeds may be sown any time during the early 



summer, in finely prepared, rich soil. As soon as 



large enough to handle, the little plants should be 



transplanted to the places where they are to bloom 



the following summer. Some evergreen branches, 



or a little straw or coarse hay, thrown over them 



when the ground begins to freeze, makes all the 



winter covering these plants require. In the spring 



a little fine manure and some bone meal should be 



dug about each plant. 



Caiycanthema ( Cup and Saucer Canterbury Bells). This is un 

 questionably the finest type of this old-fashioned and much-prized garden 

 plant. They differ from the ordinary type in having an extra large calyx, which 

 is of the same color as the flower, giving the appearance of a cup and saucer. 

 We offer them in separate colors as well as in mixture, viz. : pp^ p^^

Dreer's Prize Cineraria. 



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 transplant- 

 ing, 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 cele- 

 brated for all good qualities, Ijeing especially noted for size, 

 coloring and texture. per pkt.

 extreme grace and elegance of the plant and flowers 

 make them wonderfully effective for the decoration of 

 the house and conservatory, and especially so for 

 church decoration; also useful for cutting 25
