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

continue until quite hard frost. It delights in a sunny 
situation.- As a cut flower it is especially valuable, the 
blooms 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. Pkt., 10c; 4 oz., 30c.
