color reproduction, suggest the Gerbera in their dainti¬

able for the mixed border, and make a very effective 
display when in flower. 
Culture. They prefer a chalky, well drained loam. 
Where this is not available, mix plenty of lime with the 
soil. Plant in autumn or spring. In autumn cut the 
stems back to the soil, and give a good mulching of 
well-decayed manure.
