AFRICAN GOLDEN DAISY. 
(Dimorphotheca Aurantiaca.) 
Rare and extremely showy annual from South Africa, 
destined to become a great favorite on account of its very 
easy culture and its beautiful flowers. The plants, of neat 
branching habit, grow about 12 inches high, and flower in 
exceeding profusion. The single daisy-like blossoms, 
to 2>4 inches in diameter, are of a unique shade of glossy 
terra-cotta 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 bioom 
is a magnificent sight on bright days. This novelty gained 
an award of merit at the Temple Show, London.. Pkt. 15c.
