6AILLARDIA. Blanket Flower. 
One of the most desirable hardy 
plants in cultivation. Everyone 
will have noticed how grandly 
Gaillardias have thrived through 
droughts; they seem hardly to 
need water. The gay blossoms are 
obtainable in perpetual profusion 
from June to November, and the 
greater the drought and scarcity 
of other flowers the more the 
utility of the perennial Gaillar- 
dia is demonstrated. No more 
beautiful and brilliant sight can 
be imagined than a large bed of 
them, with their profusion of 
high colored flowers. 
Culture: All perons who have grown 
Gaillardias know that they bloom 
even during protracted droughts. 
They prefer the full sun and a 
sandy soil. Cld plants have a 
tendency to become blind," that 
is, they grow nicely but produce 
no flowers. Such clumps should 
be dug and divided.

This is considered one of the 
most beautiful and desirable 
plants in cultivation, beginning 
to bloom in June they continue 
one mass the entire season. A 
most beautiful combination, very 
fine for .cutting.

A new strain of large flowering 
Gaillardia having a color range 
from reddish bronze to a deep 
gold. Very satisfactory as a cut 
flower.
