CINERARIA 
Seed should be sown from May to September where a succession 
is desired. When sown at this time, fine plants may be secured. The 
main point in the culture of Cinerarias is to secure as hardy a growth 
as possible with leaves of medium size. Seed may be transferred 
direct from seed-pans to thumb-pots. After planting, place in cold- 
frame facing north, if possible. As pots become full of roots, shift to 
larger ones until flowering size is reached. 
COB2® A (Cup-and-Saucer Vine) 
A climber of rapid growth, attaining a height of 30 to 50 feet during 
the season, valuable for covering trellises, arbors, trunks of trees, etc.;

and merely cover lightly with soil; to get early results, start the seed 
indoors in March or April; can also be sown out-of-doors in May.
