k HAT a splendid display these make when well grown! yet many have the idea that they 
are a dirty class oF plants, and always infested with fly, but when they are so, it is nearly 
alwavs because they have been starved and confined in an unfavourable, dry atmosphere, 
and often placed next to some other infected plant. When seedlings or young plants are potted, place 
in a close frame for three or four days until they recover, and afterwards expose during the months 
of September and October to all favourable weather, and even during the night with as cold a tem¬ 
perature as possible, just excluding the frost, and, as soon as the pots are filled with roots, supply 
with liquid manure, and at all times well surround with a moist, airy atmosphere. This family of 
plants should he the king of the greenhouse all through the spring, for really we know of no plant so 
easily grown as the Cineraria, and very seldom we find it necessary to fumigate until just before they 
are coming into flower. (For other particulars, see Seed List.)

W E have one of the finest collections, and were 
awarded the Gold Medal at Ghent, Belgium, for 
three dozen of these double flowers, which surprised 
Their Majesties both King and Queen of the Belgians. 
These have been brought to such perfection, and 
the colours are so very beautiful, that they must now 
be considered not only a novelty but a choice and 
desirable plant, both for cut-flowers and button-holes, 
aud one of the best plants for the greenhouse, requiring 
precisely the same treatment as the single varieties; our 
100-ft. house during April is a splendid sight.
