Schizanthus 
A most desirable annual for pot

daintiest of cut flowers. Compact and bushy, lasting in bloom for 
months. A highly paying plant for florists. For spring trade sow 
in a cool house in October, pot off when large enough and shift as 
soon as needed. Schizanthus must never be allowed to become pot 
bound. For summer blooming sow when danger of frost is past, 
later transplant to stand a foot apart. Make several successive sow¬ 
ings. 
If a crop of flowers is desired during December and January sow 
in September, allow the plants to bud in 4 in. pots, grow cool (48 
deg. house). You will find it about the easiest flower to bring into 
bloom and the most readily saleable. To get bushy plants you must 
pinch and keep on pinching the plants.
