CANDYTUFT 
If you have grown annual candytuft before and found it a poor 
seller, it is more likely that you had too much of the white 
variety. Try in its place a few of the colored varieties, such as 
Pink. Rose. Carmine, Lavender and Crimson and be convinced 
that this annual is of much use in the florist’s establishment 
in the spring-. It will take about five months to bring them 
into flower indoors. Plans may be made accordingly, taking 
into consideration the period cut flowers will be of most use to 
the individual florist. A good time for one planting is soon 
after the winter holidays as space becomes available Some 
growers sow the seed singly, planting out later at the distance 
of a foot apart.

CINERARIAS

Blue Ribbon Cinerarias (Creniers Strain) 
Excerpt from Florists’ Exchange 
Issue of April 4, 1936 
"These exceptionally fine Cinerarias, grown by our Fritz Bahr 
of Highland Park, Ill. gained first prize at the recent Chicago 
flower show at Navy Pier. In 8 in. pots, several of the plants 
carried flower heads fully 30 in. across. The 25 specimens were 
all of the noted F. E. Cremer strain. Plants like these fully 
support Mr. Bahr's contention that Cinerarias are unsurpassed 
for keeping the showhouse attractive.” (See next page for 
details.)
