Qaillardia Qraiidiflora. 



Gaillardias are among the showiest and most effective of 

 hardy perennial plants; beginning to flower in June, they con- 

 tinue one mass of bloom the entire season; ihey will thrive in 

 almost any position or in any soil, but respond freely to liberal 

 feeding; being perfectly hardy they require absolutely no pro- 

 tection, taking care of themselves. The flowers are large, from 

 2i to 3^ inches in-diameter, they are produced on long stems 

 and are excellent for cutting, and of the most gorgeous coloring. 

 The centre is dark red brmvn, while the petals are variously 

 marked with rings of brilliant scarlet crimson, orange and 

 vermilion, and often a combination of all these colors in one 

 flower.
