GILT EDGED COLLECTION 



Jieua Fratieh Cannas* 



In offering these greatly improved varieties of these now most pbptfc 

 lar plants for garden and lawn decoration, we desire to call attention to 

 our title of •« Gilt Edged," which is used to call the attention of our cos* 

 tomers to the border of golden yellow which most of these sort&bave^ and also to 

 emphasize the great advance made in this section. They flower in the open ground 

 during the entire season, and if grown in pots make grand plants for the conserv- 

 atory or greenhouse. When not wanted for flowering in winter, they should be 

 lifted after they are cut down by frost in fall, and stored away in a cellar, just likfe 

 dahlias or potatoes, when they can be divided and planted again in May or June.
