Bartonia, 

 Golden 



1506 Bartonia 

 Aurea. A na- 

 tive of Cali- 

 fornia, and one 

 of our showiest 

 annuals. It 

 produces large 

 single golden - 

 yellow flowers 

 which have 

 quite a metal- 

 lic lustre when 

 the sun shines 

 on them. A 

 large cluster of 

 yellow-stam- 

 ens adds to 

 the effective- 

 ness of the 

 blossoms, 

 which measure 

 nearly 3 inches 

 across, and arc 

 borne pro- 

 fuscly all sum- 

 mer long, on 

 bushy plants 

 about 1 fool 

 high. It suc- 

 feeds best 

 grown in 

 masses so the 

 foliage will 

 shelter the 

 ground from 

 the hot sun. 

 It will then 

 thrive almost 

 anywhere, but 

 prefers a moist 

 situation. (See 

 illustration.)
