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 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 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. Pkt., 10c; V4 oz., 30c.
