♦CLADANTHUS ARABSCUS 
Gold of Ara'oy. A curious sun-loving annual from the 
Arabian desert. Daisies of burnished old gold, tightly 
terminate each stem, while from paper-thin closeness be¬ 
neath them, new rosettes of fern-leafed branches spray out. 
Each of these in turn is tipped with a bronze-red bud, 
and as this unfolds to flower, another fern-rosette creeps 
out radiatingly from below. So it repeats itself, ad in¬ 
finitum, or at least all .summer, to put a slight limitation 
on infinity, until each plant is a mound of ferniness, with 
flowers like bits of gold strewn through it. Pkt. 15c.
