A handsome hardy annual of the easiest culture, bearing 
large, showy flowers which are pure white on the upper 
surface with a pale blue eye, surrounded by a narrow 
yellow zone, and pale lilac-blue on the reverse side. The 
plants are heavily branched, forming large bushes from 
2 to 3 feet high. There are few annual flowers grown 
in the garden more valuable for cut flower work. than 
the Arctotis. It is easily grown from seed, and may be 
started in hotbed, in the house, or in the open ground, 
the seed germinating in about five days, and the plants 
may be expected to come into bloom early in July and 
continue until quite hard frost. It delights in a sunny 
situation. As a cut flower it is especially valuable, the 
bleoms lasting a week or ten days in water, and if un- 
developed buds are cut and placed in a sunny window 
every one will open and produce as fine flowers as 
though left on the plant. PkKt., 10c; %4 oz., 30e.
