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 sur¬ 
rounded with white stamens and a narrow 
golden band. Seen in the bright sunlight 
a very charming effect is produced as the 
white petals contrast beautifully 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 unde¬ 
veloped buds are cut and placed in a sunny 
window, every one will open and produce 
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; J4 oz. 25c.
