Dimorphotheca or African Daisy 



Golden African Daisy. (D. Auranliaca.) An extremely showy annual from South Africa. 

 The plants, of neat branching habit grow about 12 inches high, and flower during the sum- 

 mer in continuous profusion. The single Daisy-like blossoms, 2J^i to 2% inches in 

 diameter, are brilliant orange, rendered more conspicuous by a dark colored disc zoned 

 black. This splendid annual is well adapted for groups or borders; it stands the heat 

 finely and produces its pretty fiowers very early in sunny situations and will continue to 

 flower during the summer months. A bed in full bloom is a magnificent sight on bright 



days. (See cut.) Pkt. 10c. 



New Hybrid African Dai- 

 sies. {Dimorphotheca Au- 

 ranliaca Hybrida.) Every 

 visitor to our grounds this 

 summer, was struck by the 

 brightness, brilliancy and 

 rich diversity of colors of 

 these new hybrids. In 

 growth and flower these new 

 hybrids are like the parent 

 but they vary in color from 

 white to red and tints of 

 sulphur, lemon and golden- 

 yellow, orange, reddish- 

 yellow-salmon shades; many 

 are marked mth different 



colored zones Pkt. 15c. 



Dimorphotheca sinuata. 

 Equally beautiful, useful and 

 of the same easy culture as 

 the original Dimorphotheca, 

 this new South-African 

 species produces singularly 

 pretty flowers, 2J-^ inches 

 across, of a clear satiny cham- 

 ois with a bluish disk; the 

 reverse of the petals is pur- 

 plish red. This rare coloring 

 is distinct and not found 

 amongst the hybrids. The 

 plants form branched bushes, 

 12 to 15 inches high and are 

 covered with numerous 

 flowers. Novelty of great 

 merit Pkt. 25c.
