W. H. WAITE IN "HORTICULTURE" 



The Sckiza/illnis _i:t<2)idiJlotiii J}<iiiiii>igU>iiii . when well grown, is one of the 

 most desirable annuals lor greenhouse cullure. As a conservatory plant it is 

 niieq walled, las ting in bloom lor moiiilis ; as a cut-fiower for diinier-table, or other 

 decoration, it is one of the daintiest Ihinas that can he used. The past season we 

 have used it fre<juenlly, and it nex er failed to bring foilh admiration. It is of 

 very easy cnhiiie. but w ill not stand coddling in any shape or form. The young 

 plants should never be allowed lo become stunted or pot-hound, but should always 

 be kept on the move. A cool tieatment is w hat it delights in. 



The finest variety that 1 ha\ e had the privilege of grt wing yet is the one 

 illustrated below. This shows merely a single spiayano was taken to show the 

 individual flowers, and not the hahit.of the plant. This is indeed a splendicl 

 variety, and the introducer, Arthur T. Boddinglon, deserves great credit for it. 

 Thecoloisare most varied, the flowers large and well formed , and the habit is 

 all that can be desired for a pot-plant, being very compact and bushy.

 yellow c enter, to jiink, with brown center. Most useful as a winter
