Grandis. A remarkably handsome annual from Southwest 
Africa. It forms much-branched bushes 2 to 3 feet 
high; its flowers are large and showy, being pure 
white on the upper surface, the reverse of petals 
pale lilac-blue. 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 comeinto 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 un- 
developed buds are cut and placed in a sunny window every 
one will open and produce as fine flowers as though left
