Grandiflora. Gailkrdias 



are among the showiest and 

 most effective of hardy peren- 

 nial plants; beginning to 

 flower in June, they continue 

 one mass of bloom the entire 

 season ; they will thrive in al- 

 most any position or in any soil 

 but respond freely to liberal 

 feeding; being perfectly har- 

 dy they require absolutely no 

 protection, taking care of 

 themselves. The flowers are 

 large, from 2^ to 3j inches in 

 diameter ; they are produced 

 on long stems, and are excel- 

 lent for cutting, and of the 

 most gorgeous coloring. The 

 centre is dark red brown, 

 while the petals are variously 

 marked with rings of brilliant 

 scarlet crimson, orange and 

 vermilion, and often a com- 

 bination of all these colors in 

 one flower. (See cut.)
