FINE CINERARIAS 
The ever-popular, easily grown American pot plant. While Cremers is generally preferred, Berlin Market (Weis- 
sensee strain containing many light eye flowers) is a close second. We annually flower trial lots of Cinerarias from 
all specialists, regardless. This enables us to know what’s being done by these specialists and to offer "all the best” 
in this indispensable pot plant. 
A June sowing can be flowered in 5 in. pots for Xmas; and red, that is offered in separate colors, is fairly popular 
for this occasion. July and August sowings are flowered during mid-winter and up to Easter, depending on temperatures. 
Our Cineraria trials are sown around Oct. 1 and flowered in 4’s for Mother’s Day. The roots of Cinerarias rot if 
kept too wet resulting in checked or stunted growth. To further control this rot, we use sterilized soil. 
The three most perfect and popular Cinerarias. In order of their selling value: Cremers (center) is generally pre¬ 
ferred; Berlin Market (right) is next; but the most dwarf multiflora is liked by many. 
We offer this season, a mixture of these 3 leaders, as 
well as one of Cremer’s and Berlin Market that has taken 
so well with retail growers.
