THE BARBERTON DAISY. 



Although many years have elapsed since 

 Gerbera Jamesoni, the Barberton daisy, 

 was introduced to English gardens, and 

 some thousands of plants have been dis- 

 tributed in the meantime, there is still 

 little evidence of their becoming per- 

 manent inhabitants of gardens. One 

 therefore feels impelled to regard Ger- 

 bera Jamesoni as a greenhouse plant 

 that will, under peculiarly fortuitous 

 conditions, occasionally thrive in the open 

 air. 



Studied purely as a greenhouse plant, 

 and liberally treated the while, there is 

 much in gerberas to admire. Plants 

 grow readily in rather roomy receptacles, 

 preferably six to eight in a deep pan 

 partly filled with limestone chippings 

 and turfy loam in equal parts, raising 

 the plants slightly above the rim of 

 the pot or pan. Old plants under cul- 

 tivation have thick, fleshy roots that 

 are readily injured by excess of wet. 



The magnificent orange-scarlet flow- 

 ers are superlatively attractive always, 

 and with the aid of a little rational 

 treatment should be forthcoming in quan- 

 tity. A writer in an English trade paper 

 says a buoyant atmosphere and a tem- 

 perature ranging from 35 degrees mini- 

 mum to 80 degrees maximum, as the 

 two possible extremes, will keep the 

 plants thrifty.
