GAURA Lindheimerii is a lall, strong-growing plant, witii many wliite flowers 
flushed pinlv, ant! blooms for a very long lime. The habit is good and it makes an excel- 
lent background for colored flowers which grow 2 to 3 feet high. It withstands heat 
and drought wonderfiflly. A good thing. 20 els. each. 
G. coccinea is a very pretty sort, with bright rose or pink flowers. It grows a foot 
or so high, and flowers very freely. Excellent for sunin' places. 25 els. each. 
GAZANIA splendens is, perhaps, the best covering that we have for a dry, hot bank, 
and especially in the bay region. The stems make a low carpet, and the large, daisy- 
shaped flowers are a rich reddish orange, with black centers. It makes an excellent 
border for a bed of yellow flowers. The best effect is to be had by setting the plants 
a foot apart each way in a broad belt. Good plants, loc. each, 75c. per doz., $5 per 100. 
GERANIUM sanguineum is a pretty little plant of the Herb Robert type, with 
sinall, rose-colored flowers. Quite hardy. 15 els. each. 
GLAUCIUM flavum tricolor is the Horned Poppy. See Poppies, page 20. 
GYPSOPHILA paniculata, in ihe floiiblc-flowered form, is one of the finest things 
that I have ever grown. The myriad 
clusters of tiny flowers are borne on 
stems 4 feet high, and with their 
many side stems make a mass 2 or 
3 feet through, that looks like snow-- 
drift. For delicate stems to make 
up with bouquets they are superb. 
Fine roots, 25 cts. each. 
Pink Baby's Breath is a very 
jiretty pink-flowered form at the 
]5ricc of the last named. 
HELLEBORES, or Christmas 
Roses, arc not roses at all but allied 
to the fall anemones and peonies. 
.My customers who have tried them 
in the .San Francisco Bay region are 
more than pleased with them. The 
leaves are large, handsome, and 
last the year through; the flowers 
are large, shaped like anemones and 
coming in midwinter last for months. 
They do well in very shady places 
and are fine companions for fall 
anemones or ferns. They do well in 
any good garden soil, probablj' pre- 
ferring heavy soil well enriched with 
leaf mold or well watered manin-c.
