GAILLARDIAS 
W E consider the Gaillardia the most beau- 
tiful and desirable hardy plant in culti' 
vation, and believe our strain to be the 
finest extant, and we offer these plants for less 
than they have ever been sold for, either in this 
country or Europe. The Gaillardia 
is, of course, simply invaluable as 
a cut flower on account of its being 
so lasting when gathered and so' 
brilliant and beautiful. The gay. 
blossoms are obtainable in per' 
petual profusion from June to No' 
vember, and the greater the 
drought and scarcity of other flow' 
ers, the more the utility of the 
perennial Gaillardia is demonstrat' 
ed. Some of the varieties of this 
improved strain measure fully five 
inches in diameter. 
Burgundy. This new variety produces truly enor 
mous flowers 4 inches or more in diameter— 
the largest Gaillardia flowers in existence. The 
color is deep, rich Burgundy'red, the deepest 
red of all the Gaillardias. 3 for $1.00; $3.00 
per do?. 
Goblin. A new and compact dwarf Blanket 
Flower blooming from July until October. 
When in bloom the foliage is completely con' 
cealed under the large masses of bright yellow 
blooms with deep red centers. When cut the 
flowers will last a week or more in water. 3 for 
$1.00; $3.00 per do?. 
Lemon Queen. A new Gaillardia with tremen' 
dous flowers nearly, if not quite, as large as 
Burgundy; colored purest, richest and cleanest 
golden yellow with a bron?e center. 3 for 80c; 
$2.25 per do?. 
GOLDEN GODDESS 
For at least half a century, plant breeders have 
been searching for a perfect golden yellow Gaib 
lardia and at last in Golden Goddess success has 
crowned their efforts. The flowers of the got' 
geous new Golden Goddess are really colored 
golden yellow—petals, centers, every part of the 
flower is golden yellow and there is no sugges' 
tion of any other color. The flowers are large, 
almost, if not quite, as large as those of Burgundy. 
Golden Goddess has the longest blooming season 
of all the Gaillardias, even longer than Goblin. 
In our tests it started to bloom in late May and 
bloomed continuously and prolificly all through 
the summer and fall until October 16th, when 
we cut our last flowers. Finally the plant itself 
is not straggly but compact and upright, and per' 
haps most important it is as completely hardy as 
the old'fashioned types. 
We, who have known and handled plants for 
over half a century, consider Golden Goddess 
the final answer to the long sought for yellow 
Gaillardia and we recommend it without quali' 
fication. 3 for $1.35; $4.00 per do?.
