Cinerarias in a bed provide probably 
the most striking contrasts 
of any flowers. 
Cineraria Cinerarias are 
tender annuals, suitable for 
glasshouse or bush-house. They 
should be sown in pans or boxes 
in summer or early autumn for 
winter and spring blossoming. In 
Auckland and Sydney and similar 
nfild climates, in positions where 
they are sheltered from strong 
winds and too much sun, they 
bloom splendidly in the open 
ground. In such conditions they 
may well be alternated with 
Asters, the same rich soil and 
sheltered situations suiting both 
these plants equally well. This 
rotation will give a gorgeous 
show, both in spring and autumn.
