GIANT FLOWERED CINERARIA 
The finest large flowered strain in existence. Sow the seed 
from June to August in pans, using half leaf mould and half 
sand. When the plants have two well formed leaves and 
two more just coming on, place them in small pots. When 
ready to repot use again leaf mould, mixing it this time with 
one-eighth part of coarse bone meal. When the plants are 
ready for large pots, use half leaf mould and half compost. 
Keep the plants as near the glass as possible except when 
they are ready to bloom, when they should be kept at a 
greater distance from the glass. Give plenty of air and al¬ 
ways watch for aphis. Keep the plants cool, 40 at night and 
60 degrees during the day is right. June sown seed produces 
bloom for Christmas. Height 12 to 16 in.
