GODETIA SYBIL SHERWOOD 
A glorious new shade of bright salmon-pink softened 
by an undefined edging of white. The plant is robust, 
growing about 20 inches tall, and flowers so freely 
that the foliage is practically hidden by the blossoms. 
Suited for borders, superb as a pot-plant, and ideal 
for cutting, the flowers lasting many days in water. 
Godetias thrive best in localities where the summers 
remain reasonably cool. Where they do not, early 
sowing indoors or in hotbeds is advisable. Sow or 
transplant outdoors after danger of frost is past.
