CINERARIA. 



Seed should be sown from May to September 

 for succession. Where only one sowing is 



made, July should be preferred. Cinerarias ^^^"^^ Annual 



grow so freely that the seedling 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. 



"DREER'S PRI^E STRAIN." 



This strain of Cineraria cannot be surpassed either for size of 

 flowers or beauty of color. Many of the blooms measure 1\ 

 inches in diameter, and none will be smaller than a silver dollar 

 We have received very flattering reports from florists and private 

 gardeners of their success with our Cineraria seed. All desiring 

 the best should procure our prize strain.
