GERBERA (Transvaal Daisy) 
Jamesoni Hybrids—They are half-hardy perennials, 
usually grown as greenhouse or window plants. The 
daisy-like blossoms, 2 to 4 inches across, being borne on 
long stems, are unsurpassed as cut flowers, as they are 
of wonderful lasting quality. Are easily grown from 
seed and will commence flowering the first year, 
although old plants will produce the greater abundance 
of bloom. The colors include a galaxy of incomparable 
delicacy and richness, in which a wilderness of tints 
from pure white through yellow, orange, salmon, rose, 
cerise and ruby-red to violet are represented.

wilting after cutting put stems in warm water.
