The Lester Rose Gardens 
Sohe Scarlet-red "Datura 
— (Datura sanguinea), is one of the most strikingly 
beautiful rare plants available to flower lovers. It 
grows to large shrub size, has handsome and at¬ 
tractive foliage, and bears all season long its showy 
trumpet flowers of brilliant scarlet and gold 6 to 8 
inches long. 
This Datura may be grown from seed in sandy 
soil, the seedlings transplanted to pots when two or 
three inches high and later to the open ground. It 
likes a light and not too rich soil and a moist air if 
possible, hence it grows to perfection near the coast. 
It is a rapid grower; blooms well as a pot or cool 
house plant or in the open garden. It will stand 
some frost but is not very hardy so should be given 
winter protection in cold climates. In the open gar¬ 
den it prefers a position of semi-shade. We offer: 
Strong Young Plants — From 3-inch pots, 
shipped prepaid by mail in waterproof 
paper pots, each 50c.

high, in pots, by express only, not prepaid

LOW PRICES ON THE 
finest Strain of Transvaal Daisies 
( Gerber as ) 
These are large, undivided, field-grown plants, each with its mass of long, strong roots, of the 
New Hybrid Transvaal Daisies in choicest colors. They include shades of scarlet, white, yellow, 
orange, pink and the delicate and greatly admired pastel shades. They are fully matured, well grown 
plants that will start blooming soon after planting, weather permitting, and provide you with 
abundant flowers all season long, large blooms on very long stems, ideal for cutting because they 
last so well and hold up their heads like the thoroughbreds they are. Our new strain is the finest 
obtainable. 
Transvaal Daisies are one of the most useful and ornamental garden perennials you can grow. 
They are easily managed and ask for little care. They like full sun and must be planted with the 
head or crown of each plant clump set well up, even though half an inch or more of the root tops 
shows above the soil, for if planted so that water stands around the crown the plant will suffer. They 
prefer a light, sandy soil. 
We offer our very fine stock at these low prices: 
3 Plants for 40c; 6 for 75c; 12 for $1.25; 25 for $2.35. 
Delivery charges prepaid within the 3rd zone; beyond that add 3 cents per plant to partly pay 
shipping costs. 
Try a mass planting of 2 5 of these choice Gerberas and you will have a glorious blaze of color 
all season long that will be the chief joy of your gardening experience!
