GERBERA (Transvaal Daisy) 
Jamesoni Hybrids—They are half-hardy perennials, 
usually grown as greenhouse or window plants. The 
daisy-like blossoms, 2 to 4 inches across, being borne on 
long stems, are unsurpassed as cut flowers, as they are 
of wonderful lasting quality. For garden culture in 
cold climates the plants are wintered over in cold 
frames like pansies, etc. They are easily grown from 
seed and will commence flowering the first year, 
although old plants will produce the greater abundance 
of bloom. The colors include a galaxy of incomparable 
delicacy and richness, in which a wilderness of tints 
from pure white through yellow, orange, salmon, rose, 
cerise and ruby-red to violet are represented. Does 
remarkably well in California. Pkt. 25 seeds, 25c 
Gerbera—Scarlet shades. Pkt. 25c. 
*GEUM 
Geums belong to the Rose family. The species de¬ 
scribed are showy, free-flowering kinds producing a 
wealth of attractive flowers which are much prized 
for cutting. They are of a tufted habit of growth with

wilting after cutting put stems in warm water. 
Both the annual and perennial varieties of Gaillardia

frost; good in any situation and easily grown. The 
individual flowers are of large size, very durable, and 
most brilliant in color; fine for bouquets. 2 to 3 ft.

erect habit of growth, from 2% to 3 ft. high; the stems 
are strong, and stiff, holding the flowers erect; these 
are of large size, nearly 4 inches in diameter, the petals 
being very broad and overlapping, of great substance, 
and spread out flat, forming a very regular flower; in 
color a brilliant scarlet with coppery hue which is in¬ 
tensified by the golden yellow with which each petal is 
heavily tipped. Comes about 50% true from seed.
