Gladioli, Mrs. Francis King, 
is a beautiful vermilion-scarlet, 
oralmosta flame-color. Whether 
for forcing, cut-flowers, or the 
garden, it is a first-class variety, 
and at the low prices that I 
make is worthy of the attention 
of everyone. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. 
per doz., $2.50 per 100. 
Lily Lehmann is an exqui- 
sitely lovely white, with frilled 
edge slightly tinged rose. The 
flowers are large; the stems not 
tall. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. 
Panama is a lovely, soft rose- 
pink and the finest pink that I 
have ever seen. It is strong and 
large-flowered and will please 
everyone. i5c.ea.,$i.50perdoz. 
Pink Perfection is one of the 
two finest pinks. A light pink 
and large flower. 15 cts. each, 
$1.50 per doz. 
Primulinus Hybrids are a 
new race, rather smaller-flow- 
ered than the others but in very 
pretty shades of primrose. 
15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Princeps, the amaryllis-flow- 
ercd Gladiolus, is a glorious rich

Willy Wigman is a beautiful 
soft rose, with dark red blotch. 
Very fine. 10 cts. each, $1 per

GYPSOPHILA acutifolia is a valuable strong-growing plant which branches widely 
and grows to 3 feet. The many tiny white flowers are flushed pink and make an attrac- 
tive mass. Flowers in midsummer. It is excellent for bouquet greens. Sit., sun. Soil, 
any garden soil. Prop., seeds. PL, October to March. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
G. paniculata, Double, forms a full bush-like plant over 3 feet high and as broad, 
with a great many branches and innumerable little double white flowers. In full bloom 
it is simply exquisite and most valuable for bouquet greens. The flowers are ever- 
lasting. Good plants, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
Sit., sun. Soil, a loose, well-worked loam. PL, October to March. Prop., it does 
not come from seeds and only grafted plants are good. It is grafted on the common 
G. paniculata. 25 cts. each. 
GLAUCIUM flavum tricolor is the Horned Poppy. See Poppies, page 27. 
GOLDENRODS (Solidago altissima) have many species, all interesting. I offer 
the giant of them all, which grows from 6 to 8 feet in height, and bears large panicles of 
golden flowers in late summer and fall. Plant in good garden soil, 18 inches apart, and 
divide to single shoots every winter. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
*HELIANTHEMUMS, or Sun Roses, are plants that should be far better known, 
as they are both beautiful and peculiarly well adapted to California. The flowers, when 
single, are like little roses and very dainty. They do well at the top of a wall to droop 
down, on rockwork, in borders, or to fill dry, hot corners. Sit., sun. PL, any time, as 
they are sold in pots. Prop., cuttings. I offer in pots, Double Red, Single White, and 
a peculiar shade that is probably best described as Coppery Terra-Cotta, Light Yellow, 
and a very soft Shrimp-Pink. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
