GREENHOUSE PLANTS AND HARDY PERENNIALS 
The charming and beautiful Fimbriata and Obconica varieties are among our most im¬ 
portant winter-blooming plants. Seed sown in April will bloom during early winter; August 
for spring blooming. Sow in shallow pans, in soil consisting of part sand and leaf-mold 
worked through a fine sieve, and allow for good drainage. Cover seeds lightly, and water 
frequently; give a temperature of about 65 degrees. Hardy types may be sown in the 
open ground; mostly they do best in a moist, partly shaded situation.
