NEW HARDY GAILLARDIA. 



This Mag-niflcent Novelty ( Ccrii- 

 lardia Aristata Grandijlora) was ofifered 

 by us for the. first time last season. It 

 is the most beautiful of all the Gaillardia 

 family. A rare quality possessed by 

 this splendid new plant is that it will 

 flourish in any location or soil, bloom- 

 ing profusely from June until snow 

 falls, the strongest recommendation 

 possible for a hardy plant. We know 

 of nothing more likely to give satis- 

 faction in the hardy flower garden, or 

 among shrubbery, or in the grass at 

 edge of lawn, and along drives, fences, 

 etc. As will be seen by our illustration, 

 the flowers are of elegant shape; they 

 are borne on long stems, making them 

 valuable for cutting; the color is glowing 

 red, with deep maroon centre, tips of petals 

 flashing orange yellow, making a perfect com- 

 bination of Gypsy colors. Our large stock 

 enables us to put the price very low, so that all 

 can include this beautiful New Gaillardia in 

 their orders.

 ets.; 6 for ^i ; 12 for ^2 ; 25 for ^3,50 ; 50 for ;^6 ;
