GERBERA 
(Transvaal Daisy) 
A beautiful race of flowering plants 
brought into prominence recently with the 
introduction of an improved large-flowering 
scarlet type and the new various-colored 
hybrids. They are half-hardy perennials, 
usually grown as greenhouse or window 
plants, where they flower continuously. 
The Daisy-like blossoms, 3 to 4 inches 
across, being borne on 12 to 18-inch stems, 
are unsurpassed as cut flowers, being of 
splendid lasting substance. For garden 
culture in cold climates the plants are 
wintered over in cold frames like Pansies, 
etc. They are easily grown from seed and 
will commence flowering the first year, al¬ 
though older plants will produce the greater 
abundance of bloom.
