GERBERA (Transvaal Daisy) 



A beautiful race of flowering plants brought into prominence with the introduc- 

 tion of an improved large-flowering scarlet type and the new various-colored, 

 hybrids. They are half-hardy perennials, usually grown as greenhouse or 

 window plants, where they flower continuously.^ The Daisy-like blossoms, 

 3 to 4 inches across, being borne on 12 to 18-inch stems, are unsurpassed 

 as cut flowers, being of splendid lasting substance. For garden culture 

 in cold climates the plants are wintered over in C9ld frames like Pansies, 

 etc. They are easily grown frorn seed and will commence flowering 

 the first year, although older plants will produce the greater abund- 

 ance of' bloom.
