GAILLARDIA - Blanket Flower 
We consider the Gaillardia one of the most desirable hardy plants in 
cultivation. Everyone will have noticed how grandly (Saillardias have 
thriven through droughts; they seem hardly to need water. The gay blos¬ 
soms are obtainable in perpetual profusion from June to November, and 
the greater the drought and scarcity of other flowers the more the 
utility of the perennial Gaillardia is demonstrated. 
Culture. A rich, but light soil is essential to grow Gaillardias success¬ 
fully. They cannot be depended upon to survive the winter on heavy, 
clay soils, but do splendidly on those of a light or medium character. 
They require a sunny position. Plant in fall or spring, 6 to 8 inches 
apart. It is advisable in fall to protect them from frost with a little dry 
covering of straw.
