NEW GAILLARDIA, PORTOLA 



We consider this novelty, which originated in California, one 

 of the most valuable perennial plant introductions in many 

 years. The plant, unlike the usual type, which is inclined to 

 be somewhat straggly, is of strong, vigorous, upright habit of 

 growth, 2j to 3 ft. high, with heavy, leathery, glaucous foliage; 

 the long flower stems straight and strong, hold the massive 

 flowers erect. These are of extraordinary size, from 3^ to 4 inches and 

 over in diameter; the petals very broad, overlapping, of great substance, 

 and spread out flat, forming a very symmetrical flower. In color, a brilliant, 

 rich coppery-scarlet, each petal heavily tipped or margined with golden 

 yellow— altogether a wonderful improvement over existing sorts, and valu- 

 able alike as a flower for the garden and for cutting. Strong young plants that 

 will bloom freely this season. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



GENTIANA

 blue, August and September; grows about 2 ft. high and requires rich moist 

 soil. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.

 son flowers; blooms the entire season; 18 inches. 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.

Pretty border plants, growing about 15 inches high, and producing showy, 

 bright-colored flowers from May to July.
