CINERARIA 
One of the most useful and ornamental of 
greenhouse plants, with flowers of the richest and 
most brilliant colors and shades, and of the finest 
texture. It is rather a difficult plant to grow 
if its requirements are not understood. The mis- 
take generally made is in growing it in a warm 
house instead of a cool one. The seed should be 
started in the greenhouse. For winter blooming 
sow in April and May in shallow boxes, in fine 
soil; drop the seed in shallow drills, cover, and 
press the earth rather firmly with a piece of 
board or the bottom of a pot. Set the box where 
it will get the morning sun; water moderately 
and carefully. Average height, 2 ft. 
60801. Carters Brilliant Prize Cineraria, Choicest Colors 
Mixed, saved from finest flowers. The constant and pains- 
taking attention which we have lavished upon this strain 
has resulted in the production of a remarkable range of 
color. The self colors range from pure white through 
varied shades of pink, rose, and carmine to deepest crim- 
son, and pale porcelain, ultra-marine, royal blue to the 
deepest purple, whilst the bordered varieties show a re- 
markable diversity of shades Pkt. 25c., 3 pkts. 60c. 
60802. Carters Choicest Mixed Cactus. An entirely new 
strain. The edges of the florets recurve like a single 
Cactus Dahlia. The colors include white, blue, blush, 
violet, mauve, and some have a white zone surrounding the 
dark disc, the florets being tipped with violet, blue, etc. 
The flowers when cut last a long time, and by their light- 
ness and elegance make charming table decorations. A 
grand mixture Pkt. 25c., 3 pkts. for 60c. 
60803. Carters Choicest Mixed Stellata. This free-panicled 
variety has obtained general approval, especially for 
decorative arrangements, for which purpose it has proved 
marvellously effective, being a valuable adjunct to the 
much-admired Carters Brilliant Prize. It should be raised 
and treated in the same manner as the other greenhouse 
varieties Pkt. 25c., 3 pkts. for 60c.
