Visitors at the greenhouses of Frank A, Volz, on Dina avenue, Cheviot, Cin- eiunati, O., remark to the proprietor of late: "You've got cinerarias all over the farm, haven't you?" And he can- didly admits he has and for good rea- son. Mr. Volz is on the trail of a good strain of double cinerarias. Perhaps "on the trail" is not the precise ex- pression to use, for he has about 300 plants of them this season. The reason he goes in so strong for this plant is that he is quite enthusias- tic about its possibilities. He believes it will go toward replacing the azalea, for which a substitute is much needed. Several of the leading Cincinnati re- tailers agree with him. He hopes to obtain further opinion, particularly from other growers of pot plants, to confirm his own belief. Two years ago a double bloom ap- peared on one of his cinerarias. He crossed it with one of his best specimens of single cineraria, believing thereby he would obtain a sturdier plant. From this cross he obtained fifteen plants with double blooms. This year he had 9,000 seeds. No wonder he has ciner- arias "all over the farm"! From those he planted he now has about 300 plants with double blooms. A large number come single and about as many come semi-double as double. Mr. Volz thinks that twenty-five per cent is about the proportion which comes double from the plants produced. On many plants the terminal bloom is double, and the others semi-double, as can be seen in the illustration on this page. Others are all double, as some appear in the illustration. Some are as tight and round as a baby pom- pon. Mr. Volz, who uses practically all the stock he gro
