Gazanias are now rarely met with in some of the oldest- 

 fashioned flori.sts' establishments. Pew of the more 

 prominent firms keep themnow, and theymay be said to 

 be practically out of cultivation in America. All the 

 kinds described below are old garden favorites abroad, 

 particularly O. rigens, a common bedding plant, cult, for 

 nearly a century and a half, but whose precise habitat 

 has never been ascertaineil. Importers are urged to 

 procure (from the (':i|m, if 

 recommended by I ; i i 

 which are O. jnrn, 

 flora, Tar. leucoln if 

 of the lvs.), riijiu:.^ i ,

 expected in Amerii-an tradi. 

 and is figured in Gt. 4ti, p. .'),'54. Of the annual kinds 

 Brown recommends G. JiurcheUia, Jjichtensteini and 

 teniiifolia. Gazanias are amongst the most conspicuous 

 and characteristic of the subshrubby composites at the 

 Cape, being brilliant objects in the sandy wastes. They 

 are said to be of easy culture in our cool greenhouses, 

 and are commended for summer use in the borders of 

 those who can keep them under glass in winter. They 

 can be rapidly prop, in midsummer by cuttings made 

 from the side shoots near the base and placed in a close 

 frame.
