Gypsophila’s “ Clouds of Flowers” 
Godetia ; h.a. ; 18 inches to 2 feet. — Showy 
annuals, nearly allied to CEnothera ; in fact, 
the most recent botanical classification includes 
Godetia in CEnothera. The colours range from 
white, through pink and rose, to crimson. 
Seed lists give a large selection of varieties, 
but one of the best is Double Rose, which is 
not only beautiful in a well-grown mass, but 
is valuable and long lasting as a cut flower. 
Golden Feather. See Pyrethrum. 
Grammanthes gentianoides ; h.h.a. ; 3 
inches. — A charming little plant, not often 
seen, of a brilliant, deep orange colouring, 
suitable for a place in rock work or wall-top or 
anywhere in full sun near the eye. It is best 
sown in pots in a limy compost in early March, 
in slight heat, and planted out at the end of 
May without disturbance of the potful. 
Gypsophila elegans ; h.a. ; 12 inches. — A 
charming little dainty plant with clouds of 
small flowers. The quite white form is the 
best, the type plant having pinkish bloom. 
G. muralis, with purplish flowers and trailing 
habit, is good for walls and rockeries. 
Helianthus annuus ; h.a. — The common 
tall annual Sunflower is well known, but not 
very easy to use in careful gardening, the 
whole appearance being coarse and out of 
scale with most garden flowers. The pale 
sulphur or primrose variety is more refined
