CLEOME, 
PINK QUEEN 
CINERARIA 
An early January sowing, if kept growing right along, will make 
satisfactory 3-in. plants in late May for combination work in our 
latitude. Sowings are made from June on for Christmas and later. 
@ Festival. This new Cineraria is the result of years of in- 
tensive breeding in our own greenhouses to develop a 
small-leaved strain requiring a minimum of bench space.

sized, mostly white-eyed flowers in a brilliant color range.

we have worked for 15 years here in our own greenhouses 
where all the seed is produced under rigid control. The 
bright, clear colors include pink, rose, yellow, green, sal- 
mon, crimson and others in endless combinations and pat- 
terns. Less than 10% are undesirable colors. Leaves are of 
medium size and thickly produced on _ bushy plants.
