A popular and easy growing annual of bushy habit,

hundreds of brilliant blooms. The flowers remain tightly 
closed until Four O’clock in the afternoon, when they 
all open together and the plants become a glowing mass 
of brilliant colors.

928 | 1_|.,L„: J. The Gerbera is a 
Jamesoni rlyDriaS half hardy per¬ 
ennial and we recommend growing it as an annual by 
starting seed indoors very early or growing it entirely 
as a house plant. The blossoms are daisy-like often 
3 inches across and borne on excellent stems for cut- 
flowers and will last three weeks after cutting. 
Gerbera is one of the most pleasingly unusual 
flowers in a wide range of orange, red, pink, rose and 
coral colors.

cut while wet with dew, may'be hung in a cool, airy 
place until dry and then used in vases during the 
winter. Try them.
