SELECT HARDY PERENNIALS. 



GAILLARDIA GRANDIFLORA. 



Gaillardias are among the showiest and most effective of 

 hardy perennial plants ; beginning to flower in June, they con- 

 tinue 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 pro- 

 tection, taking care of themselves. The flowers are large, from 

 2i to 3i inches in diameter; they are produced on long stems, 

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

 ing. The centre is dark red brown, while the petals are 

 variously marked with rings of brilliant scarlet crimson, orange 

 and vermilion, and often a combination of all these colors in 

 one flower.
