CINERARIAS. 



The florists' cineraria, as represented by varieties now so popular among gardeners, 

 originated from Cineraria cruenta, a tall-growing, purplish-flowering perennial species, 

 introduced from the Canary Islands in 1777. In common with most other florists' flowers, 

 the improvement effected in the strains of late years has been very remarkable. Instead 

 of plants tall and loose in habit with small heads of starry flowers of the past, we now 

 have compact, sturdy plants, with massive, stout, symmetrical blooms in colours most 

 varied and well defined. This relates to the single varieties, a double-flowering section 

 having been evolved from these in the usual way of variations from seed. The first so- 

 called "double" cinerarias were unworthy of the name, and not till the full and globular 

 variety, Mrs. Thomas Lloyd, was brought into prominence did the new section gain 

 much attention. Even now the plants are considered to be so heavy in appearance, that 

 their cultivation is by no means general, and only those varieties of compact growth 

 and producing branching heads of perfectly globular flowers should be preserved. A 

 typical single-flowering cineraria is portrayed in Fig. 1, next page. 



Cinerarias from Seed. 



Owing to the ease with which superior single cinerarias can be raised from seed 

 obtained from a reliable source, named varieties are rarely to be met with. If a display
