 variety is so superior that it has created a sensation wherever exhibited, and has 

 received an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of England.

gerbera adnet's new hybrids 



Gerbera Jamesoni — The Scarlet "Transvaal Daisy" has for a decade been a popular plant for greenhouse 

 culture, producing in perpetual succession throughout the year and for several years, large, gracefully 

 petalled. Marguerite-like flowers, 4 inches across, of vivid orange-scarlet on stout stems 12 to 18 inches in 

 length. 



These new hybrids created in France by Mon. Adnet were the sensation of the European floral world 

 the past season, receiving great distinction wherever exhibited, including highest awards at the Paris. Berlin 

 and London flower shows 



These Gerbera hybrids possess the characteristics of the parents (G. Jamesoni x G. Viridiflora) with added 

 merits; they are hardier, make showy specimens in pots, flowering profusely in any window or conservatory 

 where Carnations or Geraniums thrive and they even luxuriate in the garden during summer in warm, sunny 

 positions where they will produce a wealth of bloom from June to September. 



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 represented. Sometimes the 

 coloring of the disk differs from that of the rays. These superbly beautiful, large, long-stemmed flowers 

 are unsurpassed when cut for bouquets and other artistic decorations; being of splendid substance, they main- 

 tain their freshness for days and if the stems are in water they last for two weeks. 



They are easily grown from seed — and although ha!f-hardy perennials, will commence blooming the first 

 season, the older plants will of course produce the greatest abundance of bloom; therefore for garden culture 

 the plants may be wintered over safely in a coldframe with Pansies. Bellis, etc.
