HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— FLOWER SEEDS 



CINERARIA HYBRIDA 



Beautiful flowering plants for the house or conservatory during the spring montlis 



Seed should be sowp from May to September for succession. Where only one sowing is 



made, July should be preferred. Cinerarias 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 



L being especially noted for size, coloring and texture.
