Cineraria California Super Giant 
T HROUGH an arrange¬ 
ment with the origina¬ 
tors, Howard and Smith, we 
are headquarters for their 
Superb California Super 
Giant Cinerarias. Recog¬ 
nized throughout the world 
as outstanding, the Howard 
and Smith strain of Cine¬ 
rarias has long been ac¬ 
claimed by connoisseurs. 
Starting where the older 
strains left off, the new Cali¬ 
fornia Super Giant type 
takes the last step toward 
Cineraria perfection. It is 
the result of many years of 
intensive breeding and se¬ 
lection and this year's seed, 
which is now ready for im¬ 
mediate delivery, was 
saved from the very finest stock plants, reselected to flowers with broad, firm 
strap petals. 
The beautifully formed flowers measure from 4 to 6 inches in diameter with 
individual petals as much as 1 to 1 ^ inches wide, and although flowers are not 
produced as abundantly as in the ordinary Grandiflora strain, they are borne 
profusely in immense rounded trusses above the very attractive clean, bold, 
dark green foliage. The plants are compact in habit, 15 to 18 inches high, 
vigorous, and most remarkable, basal branching, a revolutionary departure in 
Cineraria development. 
In range of color the strain is unchallenged. From exquisite pastel salmon, 
azure blue and snowy white to the deepest blood red and violet blues, whether 
solid self colors or highlighted with contrasting central zones, the mass of 
color is magnificent. 
We offer originator's seed in three separate color groups and in a superb 
mixture of all colors and shades.
