a splendiil display these make when well j>;rown! yet nmiiy have the idea that they 
are a dirty class of ))laiits, and always infested with fly, hut when they are so, it is nearly 
always be'canse they have been starved and confined in an imfavoiirahle, dry atmosphere, 
and often ])laced next to some other infected plant. When seedlin;{s or young ]>lants are potteil. place 
in a close frame for three or four days until they recover, and afterwards expose during the months 
of Se]itemher and October to all favonrahle weather, and even during the night with as cold a tem- 
perature as possible, just excluding the frost, and, as soon as the pots are- filled with roots, supply 
■with litpiid manure, and at all times well surround with a moist, airy atmosphere. This family of 
]ilants .should he, the king of the, greenhouse all through the spring, for really we know of no plant .so 
easily grown a.s the Cineraria, and very seldom we find it necessary to fumigate until just before they 
are coming into flower. (Kor other particulars, see Seed List.) 
DOUBLE CINERARIAS. 
W E have one of the linest collections, and were awarded the Gold Medal at Ghent, Hclgium, for 
three tlo/.en of these double flowers, which surprised Her Majesty the Queen of the Helginns 
and thou.sands of spectators, and were frequently styled the Flower of the Flowers of the n hole show. 
These have been brought to such perfection, and the colours are so very beautiful, that they 
must now be considered not only a novelty but a choice and desirable plant, both for cut flowers and 
button-holes, and one of the best plants for the greenhouse, requiring precisely the same treatment as 
the single varieties; our lOO-ft. house during A])ril is a s]demlid sight.
