CINERARIA. 



Seed should be sown from May to September for succession. Where only one sowing is made, July 

 should be preferred. Cinerarias 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. Our 

 Prize strain is justly celebrated for all good qualities, being especially noted for size, 

 coloring and texture. (See cut. )
