Take your choice. They represent the 3 best strains. From left to right, Multiflora Nana, Cremer’s and Berlin Market. 
Cremer’s is most popular. Our strain of this is carefully selected for brighter colors and uniform habit. 
FINE CINERARIAS 
Easily and economically grown, ever-popular American pot plant 
crop. While they are available in an array of flower sizes, colors, 
and habits, the American demand centers quite largely on the three 
types pictured, with the preference going largely to the center type 
—Cremer’s. Demand for our Weissensee strain of Berlin Market 
with its larger bright-eyed flowers is second choice and steadily in¬ 
creasing, for our public seems to tire of one type—good as it might 
be. We suggest some of each, favoring Cremer’s. Note the Multiflora 
Nana type left in picture. We use only Gold Center strain of this. 
Dwarf, nicely rounded, full flowerhead habit makes it well liked 
by some. Also, we offer attractive separate colors in Berlin Market 
and Multiflora Nana. Clear blue and red come quite true. We 
grow annual trial lots of Cinerarias from the best growers, regard¬ 
less. Our strains or supplies are based on these trials. A June sow¬ 
ing can be flowered in 5 in. pots for Xmas; and while not par¬ 
ticularly popular at this time, the red is an attractive color for this 
occasion. An August sowing generally makes Easter if grown cool, 
say around 45 deg. All our Cineraria trials are sown about October 
1 and flowered in 4’s or 5’s by Mother’s Day. We grow Cinerarias 
in well enriched sterilized soil. Using such soil and not overwater¬ 
ing will avoid, we find, root rotting that causes the stunted effect 
occasionally noted. 
*Cremer’s Prize Mixture. 6300 s.—s's oz. Large heads of 
medium small flowers, very freely produced, and in a well- 
balanced mixture of colors. Semi-dwarf habit and with smaller 
foliage than most other strains, taking up less bench space per 
plant. Small flowers in most any class of plants will hold up 
longer than larger flowered types. This point favors Cremer’s 
strain. Tr. pkt., $1.50; (S*? oz., $2.25; s'2 oz., $4.00; t's oz., $7.50. 
*Berlin Market (fFeissensee Strain). 
3500 s.—oz. Practically all flowers are light centered with 
colors generally brighter than Cremer’s. Flowers medium large 
and attractive. While demand for this strain is second, it is 
clearly the most attractive of the mixtures. A very excellent strain. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00; ^ oz., $1.60; 3^ oz., $2.75. 
Cremer’s & Berlin Market Mixed. 
For the grower who wants a limited amount of both strains, we 
offer this mixture that consists of one-third Berlin Market and 
two-thirds Cremer’s. Tr. pkt., $1.00; bT oz., $1.75. 
*Siter’s Rainbow Strain. Most promising of the past season’s 
novelties. Our trial showed it rich in good selling blues, crim¬ 
sons, etc. with a predominance of white eyes. Medium large 
flower and restricted early habit. Quite outstanding for showy 
colors, well deserving its name. Tr. pkt., $2.00.

1 produced 4 in. plants for Mother’s Day—8-10 in. in height; 
excellent. Tr. pkt., $1.00; gh oz., $1.75.
