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 cold frames like Pansies. 

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

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

 ance of bloom.

2270 Adnet's New Hybrids. A French strain that has created 

 a furore in the European floral world. The colors include 

 a galaxy of incomparable delicacy and richness, in which 

 an infinity of tints, from pure white through yellow, orange, 

 salmon, rose, cerise and ruby-red to violet are repre- 

 sented. Sometimes the coloring of the disk differs from 

 that of the rays. (See engraving.) Pkt. 35c.

The flowers are extra large, round, of the

 some of them forming balls 16 inches in cir- 

 cumference. The colors include shades of 

 scarlet and crimson, rose, pink, salmon, 

 cream-veined pink, blush, snowy-white and

 early in the spring; 12 to 18 inches high.
