compact habit, and bears its flowers in a luxuriant bouquet 
at the top of the plant. The latter are of a vivid indigo 
blue and of brilliant effect for the decoration of beds and

TESTIMONIAL 
Your Columbines are by far the finest I have ever 
seen, and I plant new seed every year and have a 
beautiful bed of them. 
Also the Pansies raised from your seed are beautiful, 
and so large. My plants are all blossoming fine now.

ARCTOTIS 
GRANDIS (African Lilac Daisy)—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 yel- 
low 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 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 undeveloped buds are 
cut and placed in a sunny window every one will open 
and produce as fine flowers as though left on the plant.
