GAILLARDIA GRANDIFLORA. 



Gaillardias are among the showiest and most effective 

 of hardy perennial plants ; beginning to flower in June, 

 they continue one mass of bloom the entire season; 

 they will thrive in almost any position or in any soil, 

 but respond freely to liberal feeding; being perfectly 

 hardy they require absolutely no protection, taking care 

 of themselves. The flowers are large, from 2\ to Z\ 

 inches in diameter; they are produced on long stems and 

 are excellent for cutting, and of the most gorgeous col- 

 oring. The centre is dark red brown, while the petals 

 are variously marked with rings of brilliant scarlet crim- 

 son, orange and vermilion, and often a combination of 

 all these colors in one flower.
