shady places, blooming from August to

flowers on tall stems above dark green 
glossy foliage. Splendid for cutting. We 
have Crested Pink and Whirlwind (pure 
white). 4-inch pots, 25c. 
The New Arctotis 
Arctotis acaulis. In almost every month 
in the year the plants of this new South 
African perennial are a lovely sight, par¬ 
ticularly in the winter in Southern Cali¬ 
fornia when they are at their best. They 
resemble in some ways the popular Trans¬ 
vaal Daisies but are much easier to grow, 
and instead of making a little clump of 
foliage, they make a good sized plant 1 or 
2 feet high and as much across, with 
frequently 40 or 50 flowers on at one time, 
eacn one 3 inches across. They run 
largely to brilliant orange and yellow 
shades but also come in lavender, pink, 
white, and purple. They must have full 
sun. See illustration above. Gal. con¬ 
tainers, 40c; 4-inch pots, 30c, $2.50 per 
doz.; 2y,j-in. pots, $1.50 per doz.

of narrow Iris-like foliage 18 inches high, 
producing quantities of the most lovely in¬ 
tensely blue flowers in the spring. Full 
sun or part shade. Gal. containers, 50c; 
4-inch pots, 25c.

Brilliant Baileya 
Baileya multiradiata. Here and there 
on the deserts of Southern California and 
Arizona are found plants of this gray 
foliaged plant, producing quantities of 2- 
inch shining golden-yellow flowers on 18- 
inch stems. In our gardens Baileya makes 
a magnificent plant, blooming incessantly 
from early spring to late fall, and the 
flowers are excellent for cutting. Cold, 
heat, and poor soil mean nothing to it, 
but it must have plenty of sunshine and 
good drainage. Place it in the hottest 
location you have and do not give it much 
water. 4-inch pots, 35c each; $3.00 per 
dozen. 
Star Pink 
Chironia exifera. (Star Pink.) Here is 
a beautiful little plant which only gets 
about 2 feet high with fine blue-green 
foliage, absolutely covered in summer 
with small bright pink single blooms, 
making the plant a solid mound of color. 
It is easily grown, likes full sun, but not 
too hot a location. Gal. containers, 40c; 
4-inch pots, 30c each, $3.00 per dozen. 
Morocco Mum 
Chrysanthemum mawii. "Moroccan 
Chrysanthemum." It makes a dainty little 
clump of fern-like foliage only 5 or 6 
inches high, and sending up quantities of 
little pink blooms about H /2 inches across 
on sturdy 12-inch stems. It likes a dry, 
sunny position, and you will find it one 
of the finest cutting flowers that you 
have in your garden, for the flowers keep 
ten days in water after cutting. 4-inch 
pots, 35c, $3.50 per dozen.
