Arctotis Hybrids Autumn Shades (Bodger) 
A MONG the dozens of colorful winter and spring blooming flowers suitable 
for California and southern gardens, none is more gay and cheerful than 
these new Autumn Shades in the popular Arctotis Hybrids. Under conditions 
similar to those prevailing in California, seed sown fairly early in the spring will 
flower the same year and give a wealth of the bright, daisy-like flowers through¬ 
out the latter part of the summer and up until frost. The plants the first year will 
not be more than 8 to 10 inches in height, rather compact and with fairly long 
stemmed flowers carried above the foliage. Although classed as an annual, 
with us it is a very satisfactory perennial, although it would not stand the 
extreme cold in the northern latitudes. In the milder climates where plants will 
carry over, they will be as much as 2 feet tall during their second and succeed¬ 
ing years and will have literally dozens of flowers in bloom at a time, com¬ 
mencing in December or January. The colors include many tones of red, orange, 
burnt orange, bronzy orange and various shades of yellow and cream, typical 
autumn tones. The foliage is soft gray green with slender wavy edged leaves. 
Arctotis Hybrids Autumn Shades is a decided addition to the border garden.
