SchizanthxiS— Butterfly or Fringe Flower ® 



This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, es- 

 pecially adapted to bordering beds of taller flowers and those of a 

 heavier growth. The seeds germinate quickly and come into 

 bloom in a few weeks from sowing. The florescence is such as to 

 completely obscure the foliage, making the plant a veritable pyra- 

 mid of the most delicate and charming bloom. The Schizanthus 

 make admirable pot plants for the house in late winter and early 

 spring. For this purpose sow in the autumn.
