Gerbera Jamesoni 



The Transvaal or Barberton Daisy. 



See colored illustration on back cover of our retail catalogue, 

 which gives a fair idea of the beauty and grace of this charming 

 flower, which is now offered for the first time. The plant is of 

 South African origin and though introduced into Europe about 

 fifteen years since, its method of propagation was so little under- 

 stood that until quite recently it was difficult to obtain even 

 single plants at high prices. We have now been successful in 

 securing a large stock, and believing it to be the most important 

 and valuable novelty of the year, we have given it a place in 

 colors on our catalogue cover. 



It is of the easiest possible culture, succeeding admirably and 

 flowering continuously throughout the Summer when planted in 

 an open sunny border in the garden ; in fact it is rarely ever out 

 of bloom, and if placed in a sunny position in the greenhouse 

 during the Winter, such in which Carnations flower freely, it 

 will continue to bloom the year around. 



The plant is of strong vigorous growth, forming a dense tuft 

 of leaves from lo to 12 inches long, from the crown of which it 

 sends up in constant succession 12 to 18-inch high stout stems, 

 which are terminated with single daisy-like flowers, fully 4 inches 

 across, and varying in color in different plants, as well as at 

 different seasons of the year, from bright orange red and scarlet 

 to deep vermilion ; a rich glowing and, at same time, entirely new 

 color in this shape of flower ; it really being a scarlet Marguerite. 



At the Exhibition of the New York Horticultural Society, held 

 in May, 1901, it was awarded the first prize as the most import- 

 ant new plant shown, and we take much pleasure in offering and 

 recommending it. The plant has been under cultivation in our 

 trial grounds for the past five years ; many have seen it, and 

 everyone has been charmed by its novel and striking beauty and 

 grace. 35 cents each ; $35.00 per 100.
