Cineraria Hybrida 



Beautiful flowering plants for the house or conservatory during 

 the spring months. 



Seed should be shown from May to September for succession. 

 Where only one sowing is made, July should be preferred. Cin- 

 erarias '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 espe- 

 cially noted for size, coloring and texture.

 treme grace and elegance of the plant and flowers make
