DATURA, Golden Glory, 
iancst and most strikingly 
beautiful plants we have ever seen. It is a rapid grower and begins to 
bud and bloom when quite young. The blossoms are a pure, golden 
yellow, semi-double and often 10 to 12 inches in length, the plant when 
in bloom, forming a perfect blaze of golden glory. Planted In the open 
ground, it attains an immense size in a single season. As a pot plant it 
is second to none, requiring only ordinary care and cultivation. It 
blossoms the entire season, the new growth constantly making new 
buds. It should be replanted in larger pots or tubs from time to time, 
as it increases in size very rapidly and requires plenty of water. In ad- 
dition to its vigorous growth and profusion of bloom, the blossoms are 
delightfuUv fragrant, filling a room with their delicate perfume. The 
plant is free from disease and the attacks of insects, and thrives under most adverse circumstances
