CACTUS-FLOWERED CINERARIAS.
Cactus-floweTed Cinerarias is the subject of a, coloured illustration in a recent issue of the "Garden." During recent years tha old-fashioned but brilliant greenhouse Cineraria has been much improved ,and this year has seen the introduction in England of a new type, properly named the Cactus-flowered. The specimens have the narrow incurved Detals' which' are so typical of th(> Cactus Dahlia, and this type also possesses some very attrai-iivo new colour shades of pink, in addiiion to the richer colour shades of the older flowered varieties. It is toJJessrs Sutton &Sons; of Reading, that we owe the introduction of this new type. About _«isht years ago Messrs Sutton, instead of discarding the narrow petalled plants which appeared in the old broadar petalled " 'type, saved the ' plants and obtained seed from them, iinci by eoref a sejootion Bince' the time hava worked this strain up to its present 1 form. It is' understood that this new . race needs precisely tho same culture as t that aßorded to the older type.
