SCHIZANTHUS 



(Butterfly or Fringe I' lower). 



The Schizanthus has been called the "poor man's orchid" on account of 

 their easy culture and resemblance in form and variety of coloring to some of the 

 Floral Aristocrats. May be sown out of doors in spring where they are to remain, 

 or started inside and transplanted when the weather is suitable. A sowing made 

 in autumn will give an abundance of bloom through the winter. PER PKT .
