 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 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 unde- 

 veloped buds are cut and placed in a sunny window, every one 

 will open and produce as fine flowers as though left on the 

 plant. £ oz., 30 cts 10
