 inches across, and very highly colored in great diversity 

 of variations and Mendings, including such combinations 

 as scarlet with gold edge, blood-red with yellow edge, 

 yellow with orange disk, golden with scarlet border, pure 

 yellow, fiery-crimson and many others. These magnif- 

 icent Gaillardias are hardy perennials, compact in growth 

 and produce a constant succession of flowers summer

 effective. As cut flowers they are almost unrivaled; the 

 brilliant flowers, on long stems, "vase" handsomely, and

Geranium 



A strain of seed saved from grand new hybrids all 

 greatly enlarged and improved. The flowers are extra 

 large, round, of the most perfect form, borne in splendid 

 trusses, some of them forming balls 16 inches in circum- 

 ference. The colors include shades of scarlet and crim- 

 son, rose, pink, salmon, cream veined pink, blush, snowy- 

 white and all of the new auriole types. These all stand 

 the hot sun, and, although perennials, they will produce 

 nice bushy plants and flower from seeds sown the same 

 season. The gorgeous flowers, borne continuously, render 

 these most popular plants for pot culture in winter or for 

 bedding out in summer; 12 to 18 inches high. (See cut.)

Gerbera 



OR TRANSVAAL 

 DAISY 



A beautiful race of flowering plants 

 brought into prominence recently with 

 the introduction of an improved large- 

 flowering scarlet type and the new 

 various-colored hybrids. They are 

 half hardy perennials, usually grown 

 as greenhouse or window plants 

 where they flower continuously. 

 The Daisy-like blossoms, 3 to 4 

 inches across, being borne on 12 

 to 18 inch stems, are unsurpassed 

 as cut flowers, being of splendid 

 lasting substance. For garden 

 culture in cold climates the plants 

 are wintered over in coldframes like 

 Pansies, etc. They are easily grown 

 from seed and will commence flower- 

 ing the first year though older plants 

 will produce the greater abundance 

 of bloom. (See cut.)
