^Gaillardia, Torch Light 
Few plants can rival the perennial Gaillardia 
for gorgeous effect in the border from mid¬ 
summer onwards, the main drawback being 
a somewhat loose and untidy habit. In 
“Torchlight,” however, the stems are much 
stronger and stiffer than in any variety 
hitherto produced, making the habit much 
more compact, and they attain a length of 
2 to 2 V4 feet. The flowers are golden yel¬ 
low with a rich maroon red center and often 
measure as much as 5 inches across. Both 
for the. border and for cutting this new 
Gaillardia will be found of the greatest value.
