Gerbera JameSOni (Transvaal or Barberton Daisy) 



During the past few years this South African Daisy has been extensively featured by 

 the florists as a cut flower, particularly in late winter and early spring, its graceful flowers 

 of striking beauty have established its popularity, but its value is not only as a winter 

 cut flower, but it is a worthy and novel subject for the mixed border in summer. Planted 

 in a well drained position where it is fully exposed to the sun it will produce its attractive 

 flowers 3f inches and over in diameter throughout the summer and fall months. The 

 plant is of vigorous growth forming a dense tuft of leaves from the crown of which it 

 sends up in constant succession stout stems 12 to 18 inches long which are terminated 

 with single daisy-like flowers varying in color from blush white, salmon pink to brilliant 

 scarlet which we can supply only in mixture at 75 cts. each; §7.50 per doz.

furnish the double forms in two colors, a Brilliant Rosy Scarlet and a Luminous Coral 



Red, either color at $1.50 each.

 garden producing its attractive white flowers almost continuously. 35 cts. each; $3.50 

 per doz. 



Jasminum Primulinum 



Flowers bright yellow similar to the old favorite hardy jessamine but double the 

 size and develop early in March. An excellent plant for the window garden when 



trained on a trellis as a pot 

 plant. 25 cts. each. 



Lagers troemia 



(Crape Myrtle) 



This is one of the prettiest 

 Shrubs, and while hardy south 

 of the Potomac, requires pro- 

 tection in this latitude. Grown 

 in large pots or tubs, specimens 

 6 to 8 feet high can be produced 

 with little difficulty, and which 

 for two or three months in the 

 summer will be covered with 

 flowers.
