Ursinia 
Emerging from their South African solitudes, the Ursinias 
have been rapidly making for themselves a place in horticul¬ 
ture. The dwarf plants are well furnished with finely cut foli¬ 
age, above which rise brilliant orange colored daisy-like flow¬ 
ers, measuring over 2 inches in diameter, each with a deep 
purple or red zone around the center. The flowers are borne on 
long wiry stems, and make an excellent decoration in small 
vases. Many South African introductions close early in the 
afternoon, but the Ursinia will be found to remain open until 
nearly dark. When grown in the garden, it should be given a 
sunny position, and strong plants raised in pots from seed 
sown indoors during the latter part of March or early April and 
transferred to the open ground in May, will produce a very 
effective display. For flowering under glass, January is the 
best time for sowing.

tween the two varieties offered above. Midway as regards

NEW GIANT HYBRIDS 
A magnificent new strain of Verbenas, of robust, compact 
habit and free blooming. The trusses are immense, the indi¬ 
vidual florets measuring an inch in diameter. These Verbenas 
are fixed and come true from seed.

thinned and transplanted. Verbenas from seed are much more 
thrifty and less liable to rust than from cuttings. Annual, 1 
ft. high.

color shades from clear rose-pink to rose-red, making this
