SCHIZANTHUS 



(Butterfly or Fringe Flo>ver) 



This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, especially 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 pyramid 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.
