Howard and Smith Prize-Winning Suer-Giant Cinerarias 
The World’s Foremost Florists Strain 
Foremost among all Cinerarias this new California Super Giant strain is 
the result of many years of intensive breeding and selection. Recognized 
throughout the world as outstanding, the Howard & Smith strain of Cinerarias 
has long been acclaimed by connoisseurs. 
The plants are compact in habit, 15 to 18 in. high, vigorous and exception- 
ally free flowering. The huge flowers measure from 4 to 6 in. across with 
single petals 1 to 1144 in. wide, and although not as abundant as in the ordi- 
nary grandiflora strains, are borne profusely in immense rounded trusses 
above the very attractive clean, bold, dark green foliage. 
In range of color, the strain is unchallenged. From exquisite pastel sal- 
mons, 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.

Cineraria Calif. Super Giant Blue Shades 
SITER'S RAINBOW MIXTURE 
(Nana Multiflora Class) 
We regard this strain as one of the best of the Multiflora 
section. It contains a brilliant range of colors, not only in 
selfs, but in those of the zonal or bi-colored class. The 
trusses are produced in very large heads, with the indi- 
vidual blossoms evenly placed and more or less flattish 
trusses. The plants finished in 6” pots average about 15” 
to 18” in height. The general effect of this strain of Cine- 
rarias is one of exceeding brilliancy. Due to the fact that 
the plants are compact, with the foliage more or less con- 
densed in spread, a larger number of plants can be grown 
upon a given bench area than almost any other class we 
know of. The seed we offer has been saved from carefully 
rogued, selected pot-grown plants.

CREMER'S PRIZE STRAIN MIXTURE 
(Nana Multiflora Class) 
A medium to small-flowered strain of Cinerarias. Generally speaking, similar 
in size than those to be noted in Siter's Rainbow Mixture, with plants somewhat taller 
in their growth. Our stock of this particular strain has been carefully rogued, with 
clean, decided colors, and offers some very attractive pastel shades, in addition to 
flowers in self-colors of red, blue, pink, salmon, etc., as well as many in the bi- 
color class. This is a very popular strain.

CINERARIA MULTIFLORA NANA 
(Potsdam Type) 
The flowers of this strain are somewhat larger in size than either Siter’s or 
those of the Cremer class, averaging about an inch to an inch and a half in 
diameter. The individual flowers are well disposed in the truss. The color range 
is quite different to any other strains of Cinerarias belonging to the Multiflora 
class. As in the Cremer and Siter class, these are particularly valuable for green- 
house pot-plant work, as they consume but very little space:
