ARABIS (Rock Cress) 



PER PKT.

 spring flowers. The spreading tufts are covered with a sheet of 

 pure white flowers as soon as the snow disappears. Unequalled for 

 rockeries or edging; withstands the drought and is always neat; 6 

 inches. ^ oz. , 25 cts 10 



ARCTOTIS (African Daisy) 



1216 Qrandis. 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 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 un- 

 developed 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
