Cineraria Hybrida 



Beautiful flowering plants for the house or conservatory during 

 the spring months. Seed should be sown from May to September 

 for succession. 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 celebrated for all good 

 qualities being especially noted for size, coloring and texture, p^.^
