FUCHSIA 
Practically all the shrubby Fuchsias commonly 
cultivated are hybrids. The graceful habit of the 
plants, the unusual coloring and form of the flow¬ 
ers and the profusion of bloom have made them 
great favorites. They thrive best where the sum¬ 
mer heat is not too great and prefer a shaded 
situation.

GAILLARDIA: Blanket Flower 
G. aristata (G. grandiflora) . Central United 
States. Herbaceous perennial growing about two

stems and last for a long time in water. Likes full 
sun.

DAISY. S. Africa. Stemless, herbaceous perennial. 
Leaves like Dandelion. Flowers borne on very long 
stalks; composite, about three inches broad, with 
small disc and long, showy petals (ravs). As 
originally introduced, this plant had medium-sized 
orange red flowers. These new hybrids run from 
white through straw, yellow, pink and salmon to a 
rich, brilliant red. Will keep ten days after cut¬ 
ting. One of the very best things in this section. 
Requires well-drained soil and thrives well in Cali¬ 
fornia. 
GYPSOPHILA

Although tender, it can be grown outside where 
there are only very slight frosts if planted against 
a wall. If trained up, can he made to climb mod¬ 
erately. Likes full sun. Cultivated forms have 
been developed from Peruvian species. Great im¬ 
provements have recently been made and the fol¬ 
lowing named sorts will be found remarkably fine. 
Bulsson Fleuri. Semi-dwarf. Free bloomer. 
Trusses very large. Flowers rosy-violet, with 
star-shaped eye.
