Hollyhock (Wrexham Strain). A magnificent strain of 
Delphinium growing to a height of from three to five feet. 
Flowers produced from this strain form some wonderful

Belladonna (California Strain). No summertime visitor 
to California can fail to see this exquisite flower, for every 
flower store in Southern California displays huge baskets 
of it through the major part of the season. It is indeed 
the cut flower "par-excellence” among Delphiniums. We 
have been told that our California strain of Belladonna 
is of a purer turquoise blue; it is undoubtedly very lovely. 
The plant grows to a good height, blooms abundantly 
and is worthy of a place among the best in every garden.

DIMORPHOTHECA AURANTIACA. "African Orange 
Daisy.” Annual 12 to 15 inches high. One of the very 
best winter flowering plants yet introduced. By sowing 
the seed in September or October, it can be had in bloom 
as early as January and will flower continually until late 
spring or early summer. The marguerite-like blossoms, 
about two and a half inches in diameter, are of a unique, 
glossy orange-gold, this brilliant coloring being rendered 
more conspicuous by the dark colored disk, which is sur¬ 
rounded by a black zone. When in full bloom on bright 
sunny days it is truly a magnificent sight, for brilliancy 
of color almost rivaling the California Poppy. It is espe¬ 
cially adapted for planting in masses in beds or borders 
and parkings. Pkt. 10c.

and many others. These magnificent Gaillardias are hardy 
perennials, less coarse and more compact in growth than 
the older kinds and they produce a constant succession of 
flowers all summer and fall, when grown in large groups 
they are gorgeously effective. As cut flowers they are 
almost unrivaled; the immense and brilliant flowers on 
long, self-supporting stems, "vase” handsomely and they 
last in water for days.
