Cremers Prize Cinerarias 
Originators seed 
Next to the Multiflora Nana, the Cremers 
is the most popular and in some sections 
it is preferred. The Cineraria grower 
really needs both strains. Cremer’s pro¬ 
duces plants of good saleable heighth with 
masses of small to medium sized flowers 
in a great variety of color. The flowers 
are fancy and bi-colored. The petals are 
broads and overlapping, and the habit of 
the plant and the comparative small size 
of the leaves make it possible to produce 
saleable plants in smaller pots than other 
strains. Mr. Cremer is providing us with 
his finest selection of seeds. Tr. Pkt. $1,50, 
fa oz. $2.25, ok. $4.00, A OK. $7.50.
