JNERA RIAS. 
I^WlIAT a splendid display these make when well gi’own ! j'et many have'the idea that they aiv a 
dirty class of plants, and always infested with lly, but when they are so, it is beoauso they 
have been starved and confined in an unfavourable position, and often placed next to sonn^ 
other infected plant, and if potted and placed in a frame for three or four days until they recover, and 
afterwards exposed during the months of September and Oetobor to all favourable weather, and oven 
during the night with as cold a temperature as possible, just to exclude the frost, and, as soon as the 
pots are filled rvith roots, supply with liquid manure, and at all times well sun ounded with a moist, 
any atmosphere. This family of plants would be the king of the greenhouse all through the sirring, 
for really we know of no plant so easily grown as the Cineraria, and very seldom we find it necessary to 
ftimigatc until just before they arc coming into flower. (For other particulars, see Seed List.l 
DOUBLE CINERARIAS. 
JTOllESE have been brought to such a perfection, and the colours are so very beautiful, that they mu.st 
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 i>lants for the greenhouse, requiring precisely the same treatment as 
the single varieties ; our 100-ft. house during April is a splendid sight.

“ Messrs. H. Cannell & Sons showed a plant of Cineraria ( Vktory), a very fine purplish 
maroon self of great size and fine form.’’ 
Gardeners' Cltroniclc, April ISt/r, 1882. 
Double Cinerarias. — “ The varieties from Messrs. Cannell appeared nearly perfect, and to 
improve them in size will seem something like spoiling them." 
Gardeners' ^fagazinc, April Isi, 1882. 
“Messrs. H. Cannell showed Cineraria (Victory), a superb variety, the flowers 2\' inches in 
diameter, very stout in substance, a perfect form, and of a rich magenta-crimson colour. 
The Garden, April 5tli, 
“ Mersrs. Cannell, Swanley, showed a very fine collection of Double Cinerarias, repre- 
senting every colour yet obtained." 
Gardeners' Magazine, March 18</r, 1882. 
“Messrs. H. Cannell & Sons exhibited a large group of specimen Cinerarias that admi- 
rably represented the Swanley strain, which is unquestionably one of the very finest in 
existence, the plants being compact, and the flowers of large size and the finest possible 
form. In the collection was a fine sample of March Past, awarded a First Class Certificate 
last year, and still regarded as the most perfect Cineraria yet raised."
