SENECIO ELEGANS

Jacobea. Hardy annual



Among the double varieties, the crimson, purple, rose and white Senecios

take the lead for beauty and usefulness. They are remarkably

accommodating plants, adapted for beds or the greenhouse. Sow early in

pans or boxes, give the seedlings liberal treatment, and when bedded out

the plants will produce myriads of bright flowers, until frost puts a

stop to them. Any good soil which does not become pasty will suit, and

full exposure to sunshine is essential to the production of a rich

display of colour. In March or April seed may safely be sown in the open

ground.



The Tall Single Bright Rose Jacobea is invaluable as a cut flower for

table decoration under artificial light. It rivals the Star Cineraria in

form and, being a hardy annual, it may be grown with the utmost ease.
