Hardy Perennial Plants 
GAILLARDIA, Duckham’s New Hybrids. Blanket Flower. 
The Gaillardias, among the most successful of hardy peren¬ 
nials, give a most striking effect when planted in bold groups 
or in a bed by themselves, and are equally effective in mixed 
borders. They seem to thrive in extreme drought and the 
greater the scarcity of other flowers, the more their utility 
is demonstrated. They bloom perpetually from June to 
November. 50 cts. each; $1.25 for 3; $4.50 per doz. 
G., Dazzler. Large, bright golden yellow flowers with rich 
maroon-red centers. 40 cts. each; $3.75 per doz.

foliage. 1 to 13^ feet. June to September.
