EXACUM AFFINE 
Provides a most useful pot plant. Nu¬ 
merous small li ght mauve flowers with 
golden yellow stamens contrast wonder¬ 
fully with the light green leaves. Seed 
sown January or February flower in 
June and continue uninterruptedly until 
the autumn. To obtain the best results, 
plant two plants in each pot. Rich soil 
of leaf mould and turfy loam in equal 
parts with some sand added is most 
suitable for its cultivation, which from 
the end of March must be carried out 
either in a cold frame or a well ven¬ 
tilated greenhouse with the minimum 
of shade. Exacum Affine is a fragrant 
and charming indoor plant. As a cheap 
market plant, it is worthy of notice.

FUCHSIA HYBRIDA 
Double Dwarf Early Flowering Mixed 
The seeds have been gathered from compact, early, richly flowering varieties which 
have been crossed with one another. Seed sown in January or February will flower at 
the end of June and continue until the autumn. The plants produce from 85 to 90 
per cent double blooms with white, lilac, pink, light and dark blue corollas. Raising 
these Fuchsias from seed gives very good results and is to be highly recommended.

GAILLARDIA GRANDIFLORA 
“TORCHLIGHT” 
Few plants can rival the perennial Gaillardia for gorgeous 
effect in the border from midsummer onwards, the main draw¬ 
back being a somewhat loose and untidy habit. In “Torch¬ 
light,” however, the stems are much stronger and stiffer than 
in any variety hitherto produced, making the habit much more 
compact, and they attain a length of 2 to 1^/i feet. The flow¬ 
ers are golden yellow with a rich maroon red center and often 
measure as much as 5 inches across. Both for the border and 
for cutting this new Gaillardia will be found of the greatest 
value. Tr. Pkt.35c 
HOLLYHOCK—DOUBLE “IMPERATOR” 
The coloring includes various tints of great beauty, such as 
cerise-salmon with center of cream reflecting rose; delicate 
pink with center of rose flushed yellow; light yellow flushed 
rose with canary yellow center; but there are many other 
charming combinations of different tints. The plant branches 
from the base, forming a majestic clump, and the lateral stems 
can be utilized in vases for decorative purposes. This splendid 
new Hollyhock can be relied on to come quite 80 per cent true 
from seed. Tr. Pkt.50c Oz.$1.75
