AFRICAN DAISY or Dimorphotheca 
Golden African Daisy. (D. Aurantiaca.) An extremely showy annual from South Africa. 
The plants, of neat branching habit grow about 12 inches high, and flower during the sum¬ 
mer in continuous profusion. The single Daisy-like blossoms, to 2 % inches in 
diameter, are brilliant orange, rendered more conspicuous by a dark colored disc zoned 
black. 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. (Seectil.) . Pkt. iOc.

Digitalis FOXGLOVE 
(GLOXINIA'FLOWERED) 
These improved Foxgloves are 
very showy, hardy plants: they 
are easy to grow and produce 
freely, spikes, 4 to 5 feet high, 
well furnished with large Gluxinia- 
like flowers of various colors, 
including white, cream, rose, red 
and other shades, all of which have 
beautiful throat markings, spots 
and blotches of purple, maroon, etc. 
They are more robust than the 
ordinary garden Digitalis, have stouter 
stems and larger flowers. 
Foxgloves thrive in any good rich soil, 
either in sunny or partially shaded situa¬ 
tions. Seed sown in spring or summer- 
either in prepared ground where they are to 
remain, or in pans or seed bed—and the 
seedlings replanted to permanent positions in 
fall—will flower in perfection the following sum¬ 
mer and annually thereafter, either from the old 
plants or from self so\vn seedlings.

New Double African Daisy 
(DIMORPHOTHECA) 
The Single African Daisies we describe above — we know of no 
annual more showy, free and continuous blooming nor better 
adapted to our hot dry American climate than these Dimorphotheca. 
These new semi-double and double-flowering varieties possess the 
same habit of growth and other merits as the single sorts. 
The colors arc rich and varied — ranging from white tc 
light and dark yellow and from salmon-rose to orange. 
From 50 to 60 per cent, of the seed may be expected 
to produce double and semi-double flowers, the 
balance will be single-flowering of varied colors,
