TRANSVAAL. DAISY (Gerbera Jamesonii Hybrid). 
Plant in full sun in a well drained soil. Be careful in 
planting to see that the crowns are not covered. Use no 
fertilizer. When you water, irrigate, do not sprinkle. 
Make irrigations thorough but only as often as is abso¬ 
lutely necessary to keep the plants in condition. In most 
soils if cultivation is practiced, irrigations at intervals of 
one week to ten days should be sufficient. If your soil 
does not drain readily hill up the soil and plant above the 
level of the surrounding ground. Blooming period June 
until December or January. Probably no one perennial 
has brought as much happiness to Southern California as 
has the Transvaal Daisy.
