Schizanthus 
Recently improved hy¬ 
brids of Schizanthus have 
been introduced, but their 
flowers never appealed to me 
until the Chislehurst Giant 
Hybrids appeared,and I con¬ 
fess it was a case of“loveat 
first sight”. I enthusiastical¬ 
ly declared they surpass all 
others. Get seeds I recom¬ 
mend; you will thank me.
