GERBERA JAMESONII 
"Scarlet Transvaal Daisy" 
This beautiful plant from South Africa 
thrives quite well in our California climate, 
and is becoming very popular here. The plants 
require a good rich soil, with plenty of drain- 
age and a sunny location. The flowers resem- 
ble a marguerite in shape, but are of an in- 
tense scarlet-crimson color. They are pro- 
duced on long stems, and last a long time 
when cut. The seed should be sown in seed 
easy culture, and producing immense quanti- 
ties of showy flowers. This variety is particu- 
larly valuable on account of its compact 
growth, and very large flowers, which are of 
a rich deep crimson shade. Pkt. 10c. 
Lathyrus latifolius, White Pearl 
A beautiful pure white perennial pea, but re- 
cently introduced into this country. It flowers 
continually during the summer and fall and 
will be greatly prized by both florists and 
pans of light, well-drained soil, and kept in a 
glass house or frame, and the young plants 
can afterwards be transplanted to the open 
ground. Pkt. 25c. 
Gerbera Jamesonii hybrida 
The flowers of these magnificent hybrids of 
the Transvaal Daisy are of about the same size 
as those of the parent, but range in all shades 
from pure white, yellow, orange, salmon, rose, 
cerise, ruby-red to violet. Pkt. 50c. 
Godetia, Crimson Glow 
The Godetia is one of the most valuable an- 
nuals for sowing in masses, being of extremely 
amateur growers on account of its long- 
stemmed snowy white blossoms, which are 
double the size of the ordinary Lathyrus lati- 
folius albus. The flower trusses are of im- 
mense size and their pure sparkling white 
against the dark green foliage is very attrac- 
tive. The vine is quite hardy, freely branch- 
ing, and grows very quickly, reaching a height 
of from 8 to 10 feet. If the seed is sown early, 
plants will bloom the first season. Pkt. 25c. 
New Pansy, Sunlight 
A magnificent Pansy of the orchid flowered 
type, color a beautiful clear shade of yellow. 
Pkt. 25c.
