GEUM [hP-2 ft.] Flowers like little double roses are grace- 

 fully poised on long stems over a thick rosette of straw- 

 berry-like leaves. The plants are well suited for use in the 

 perennial border and produce an abundance of blooms 

 which are welcomed for bouquets.

 fornia may be cultivated anywhere. They are rapid growers, 

 are useful in the border, and keep well when cut. 



Capitata, Lavender Blue (Blue Thimble Flower) Bushy 

 plants with lacy foliage. On long stems they bear flowers 

 similar to Scabiosa in form and of a clear lavender-blue.

 of delicate cup-shaped flowers faintly perfumed. Each 

 flower is edged with lavender-blue shading to white toward 

 its purple throat.

GLOXINIA [tP-10 in.] Properly these gorgeous plants are 

 house or conservatory subjects, but with a little care the 

 flower lover can grow them. Dark green, plush-like leaves 

 form a handsome base topped by numerous stalks of large 

 trumpet-shaped flowers. These are of velvety texture and 

 rich colors, including purplish-violet, crimson, pink, and 

 lilac, usually with light throats beautifully spotted. The 

 plants grow best in cool surroundings and rich moist soil.

Gloxinia, Hardy (See Incarvillea) 



GODETIA (Satin flower) [hA] This native California plant 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 plants the single sorts are desirable for they carry 

 a mass of blooms. They are easily grown from seed in 

 the open. 



Semi-Dwarf Single [12 in.] Bushy plants covered with broad 

 petaled cup-shaped flowers two or three inches across and 

 of a rich satiny texture.

 Clover-like blossoms of brilliant purplish-red, soft pink, and

 border work. Like other straw flowers they make admirable 

 winter bouquets.

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

 Gourd vine makes it useful for covering arbors, fences, 

 slopes, or unsightly places. The large tubular flowers re- 

 semble those of the Pumpkin family to which the plant 

 belongs; they are usually white or yellow. Long ago, the 

 Indians fashioned the hard ripe shells into household 

 utensils, decorating them as they did their pottery. 



Dipper Easily fashioned into a long handled dipper.

 an excellent scrubbing material as it rinses easily and

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 



Helianthus (See Sunflower) 



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

 of all Everlastings for the home garden. They are very 

 handsome when growing in the open 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 pompon-like 

 flowers are nearly covered by the stiff overlapping petals. 

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