We have much pleasure in introducing this year our new 
African Daisy Hybrids and we predict that these rare and 
extremely showy'annuals will soon become garden favorites 
on account of their very easy culture and beautifully colored 
^°Every visitor to our grounds this summer, when these 
African Daisies were in bloom, was struck by the brightness, 
brilliancv and rich diversity of colors of these new hybrids. 
In habit, growth and foliage, as well as the height of the 
plant (12 to 15 inches) and the size of the flowers (2'A to 
2 V\ inches across) the new hybrids are. like the parent 
Dimorphotheca Aurantiaca. They vary in color from the 
purest white to red and bluish-white tints, sulphur, lemon 
and bright golden-yellow, light orange, reddish-yellow 
changing to pale salmon-rose, beautiful salmon shades, from 
tender salmon to deep salmony-orange; even varieties with 
different colored zones, such as white with a broad sulphur- 
yellow zone around the black disk or soft salmon with a 
deep salmony-red inner circle, are frequent and thus en¬ 
hance the beauty and the- aspect of these new hybrids. 1

AFKICAN GOLDEN DAISY TTTTTr 
An extremely showy annual from South Africa. The plants, of neat branching habit 
grow about 12 inches high, and flower in exceeding profusion. The single Daisy-like 
blossoms, 2 l A to 2% inches in diameter, are glossy orange, which brilliant coloring is 
rendered the more conspicuous by the dark colored disc surrounded by a black zone. 
This splendid annual is well adapted for groups or borders; it stands the heat finely and 
produces its pretty flowers very early in sunny situations and will continue, to flower 
during the summer months. A bed in full bloom is a magnificent sight on bright days.
