GAILLARDIA : Blanket Flower 
We consider the Gaillardia one of the most desir¬ 
able hardy plants in cultivation. They seem 
hardly to need water. The gay blossoms are obtain¬ 
able in perpetual profusion from June to November, 
and the greater the drought and scarcity of other 
flowers the more the utility of the perennial Gail¬ 
lardia is demonstrated.

shades of yellow, with dark brown centers. It lasts 
a long time in water when cut. 2 feet.

finer introductions from Europe. Will show about 
70 per cent true brilliant red flowers. 
GEUM : Avens 
Most useful hardy perennials. The varieties 
offered are showy, free-flowering kinds producing a 
wealth of attractive flowers which are much prized 
for cutting. They are of a tufted habit of growth, 
with pinnate leaves. Excellent for the border.

all summer; ll4 to 2 ft. 
GYPSOPHILA : Baby’s Breath 
Very branching or spreading, slender plants, with 
scant foliage when in bloom. Of easiest culture in 
open, rather dry places. Desirable where a mass 
of delicate, misty bloom will fill in a bare place.

trical mass 2 to 3 feet in height and as much 
through, of minute white flowers having a beautiful

feet high, and spreads rapidly. Fine for the border, 
and for planting among shrubs. 20c each; $2.00 doz.

large, orange colored flowers on long, wiry stems, 
and are invaluable for cutting.
