GODETIA [hA] This is another native Cahfornia 

 plant that is prized all over the world. It is 

 especially suited to situations in partial shade 

 and thrives even in rather poor soil. The tall 

 double sorts are suitable for the border and 

 make fine cut flowers which last a long time if 

 gathered before fully expanded. As brilliant low 

 border or bedding plants the single sorts are 

 desirable for they carry a mass of blooms. They 

 are easily grown from seed sown in the open.

GOURD [hA-C-12 ft.] The dense foliage of the 

 vigorous Gourd vine makes it useful for cover- 

 ing arbors, fences, slopes, or unsightly places. 

 The large tubular flowers resemble those of the 

 Pumpkin family to which the plant belongs; 

 they are usually white or yellow. The odd- 

 shaped fruits often look like dippers, clubs, 

 pitchers, eggs, or oranges. Long ago, the Indians 

 fashioned the hard ripe shells into household 

 utensils, decorating them as they did their 

 pottery. They are often used for the same pur- 

 pose today, and children like them as toys. 



Dipper Easily fashioned into a long handled 



dipper. 

 Dishcloth, or Luffa The spongy ceUular interior 



fiber makes an excellent scrubbing material as it rinses 



easily and keeps sweet and clean.

 sive club.

GYPSOPHILA (Baby's Breath) These airy plants are almost 

 devoid of foliage, but their extremely delicate, well branched 

 stalks produce a charming misty effect in the garden. They 

 bear numerous tiny blossoms, and the dainty texture of the 

 sprays make them indispensable for combining with a few 

 other flowers to make graceful bouquets. No picking garden 

 is complete without a few of these plants for cutting 

 They will thrive almost anywhere.

Paniculata Double White [hP-3 ft.] Superior to the older 

 hardy sorts, producing graceful sprays of tiny rose-shaped 

 flowers. Very desirable for cutting. Still unfixed but 

 produces a good proportion of doubles. If cut before the 

 flowers are fully open, sprays of this variety can be used 

 to give a mist-like appearance to winter bouquets . Pkt. 25c

Helichrysum, Rose Queen 



HELICHRYSUM (Straw Flower) [hA-2^ft.] The finest

 handsome when growing in the op§n and make unusually 

 fine winter bouquets if cut when partially opened and dried 

 slowly in a cool place, heads downward to keep the long 

 stems straight. The centers of the double pompom-like 

 flowers are nearly covered by the stiff overlapping petals. 

 They come in a wide range of brilliant and soft colors.

 supplies a wealth of bloom late in the summer. Well above

 bearing terminal flowers so profusely as to appear like a 

 handsome bouquet. The individual flower, more than an 

 inch across, is formed of a single row of broad petals 

 around a globular center. It is deep golden in color, effec- 

 tive in the border, and suitable for cutting.
