The illustration on the cover of this bulletin faithfully depicts four very fine new types and 
conveys with exact detail the form of flower, richness of color and immense size of bloom. 
Due to the fact that these Gerberas are absolutely sterile in so far as seed production is con¬ 
cerned, propagation can only be accomplished by clump division, which is a slow process, and 
it has taken several years to accumulate a sufficient quantity to justify our placing them on the 
market. 
The long blooming period of these Gerberas (not less than ten months in California), their 
marvelous keeping quality as a cut flower plus their exquisite effect as a decorative subject 
place them in a class all their own. 
Our contributions of new' hybrid plants covering a wide range of subjects extending over a 
practical lifetime of endeavor have been many, but of all these we regard the perfection of 
beauty and form to which we have brought this race of perennial plants as one of our out¬ 
standing achievements. Ready lor shipment April 15th—Price $1.00 each. 
Special offer: 1 strong plant of each of the four named varieties as shown on cover page postpaid 
any address for $3.75. 
NOTE—We can still supply plants of the older type of Double Gerbera in shell pink and light red: these are hue lot 
cutting purposes and are the progenitors of our new hybrids. Strong Held divisions 35c each; 10 for S3.15 
CULTURAL NOTE—The main essentials in their cultivation are a rich light loamy or gravelly soil—good drainage—a 
full sunny position with the exercise of great care not to have any soil collect in the crown of the plant. The base of the 
plant at the crown should be even with the surface of the surrounding soil area.
