MYOSOTIS (Forget-Me-Not)

 increasing. Sown in July and potted on, the strain we offer pro-

 flower. For edging in bor- 

 ders, or for a pot plant, no 

 finer blue flower has ever 

 been in existence. This va-

 will survive the most severe 

 winters. Pkt. 35 cts., 3for$i.

BODDINGTON'S 

 MATCHLESS 

 CINERARIAS 



In the culture of the Cinera- 

 ria the one mistake so often 

 made is that of sowing the 

 seed too soon. The plants 

 thus raised, more often than 

 not, make a rank growth ; this 

 is not in any sense desirable. 

 By sowing in May and June, 

 plants large enough for all 

 decorative purposes can be 

 liad. In after-treatment the 

 aim should be to secure as 

 hard a growth as possible. 

 Sturdy plants with leaves of 

 medium size are be.st.

 most famous English strains, which can be recommended to those 

 wishing to grow the best Tall, J^pkt. 60 cts., pkt. $1; Dwarf,
