Golden King, or Orange Globe of the catalogues, is 

 a golden-yellow garden variety with an orange 

 centre. 



Salmon Pink is a new colour. The flowers are 

 a pretty salmon- pink colour, distinct and 

 striking. 



Silver Queen, or Silver Globe, has large snow-white 

 flowers with an orange centre. 



Sow the seeds thinly in pans or shallow boxes 

 in light soil in March in temp. 65, transplanting 

 them in May in light rich soil in a sunny border 

 6 ins. apart. Or they may be sown out of doors 

 in April under hand-glasses, otherwise if not 

 hastened a little they sometimes only begin to 

 bloom when the frosts commence, and they will not 

 assume their brightest colours; the glasses will 

 also keep the slugs away. Water a little in very 

 dry weather. 



HELIO'PHILA Cape Stock (from Gr. helios, the sun, and 

 philos, loving). Nat. Ord. Cruciferce.
