GERBERA JAMIESONII HYBRIDA. "Transvaal Daisy.” 
This beautiful plant from South Africa thrives quite well 
in our California climate, and is becoming very popular 
here. The plants require a good rich soil, with plenty of 
drainage and a sunny location. The seed should be sown 
in seed pans of light, well-drained soil, and kept in a glass 
house or frame, and the young plants can afterwards be 
transplanted to the open. The flowers of these magnificent 
hybrids of the Transvaal Daisy are of about the same size 
as those of the parent, but range in all shades from pure 
white, yellow, orange, salmon, rose, cerise, ruby-red to 
violet. Pkt. 25c.
