ARCTOTIS GRANDIS—AFRICAN LILAC DAISY 
ARCTOTIS 
GRANDIS 
(African Lilac Daisy) 
A beautiful new annual from Southwest 
Africa. It forms much-branched bushes 2 to 
3 feet high, its flowers are large and showy, 
being pure white on the upper surface and 
pale lilac on reverse and in the center of the 
flower is a blue disc surrounded with white 
stamens and a narrow golden band. Seen in 
the bright sunlight a very charming effect is 
produced as the white petals contrast beauti¬ 
fully with the blue disc and the stamens. As 
a cut-flower it is especially valuable, the 
blooms lasting a week or ten days in water, 
and if undeveloped buds are cut and placed in 
a sunny window, every one will open and pro¬ 
duce as fine flowers as though left on the 
plant. It is easily grown from seed. Sow in 
Spring when weather and after danger of frost 
is over. Pkt 10c; 54 oz. 25c.
