Gaillardia - Blanket Flower 
The Gaillardias are wonderful for cut 
flowers, blooming right through until 
frost, and adapt themselves to almost 
any kind of soil. 
$70 MONARCH STRAIN MIXED. Many 
years have been spent to evolve a strain 
of mixed perennial Gaillardia which 
would produce from seed, plants that, 
in form and flower, would equal the 
quality to be found in the better nam- 
ed varieties. This strain contains 
those characteristics and each and 
every flower is perfect in form and 
coloring, and the plants have a robust- 
ness seldom found in Gaillardia. The 
blooms are large and full petalled, and 
it is almost impossible to find any of 
the objectionable wheeled forms that 
so frequently appear in mixtures from 
seed. The ground coloring is, of course, 
golden yellow in varying tones, but the 
zones differ both in color and charac- 
ter to an amazing degree. PkKt., 20c. 
971 SUNSET. A pure yellow perennial 
Gaillardia of good form. Pkt., 15c. 
972 “TORCHLIGHT.” In ‘Torchlight,” 
however, the stems are much stronger 
and stiffer than in any variety hitherto 
produced, making the habit much 
more compact and they attain a length 
of 2 to 2% feet. The flowers are gold- 
en yellow with a rich maroon-red cen- 
ter and often measure as much as 5 
inches across. Pkt., 15c. 
$73 PORTOLA HYBRIDS. A superb new 
variety bearing flowers of immense 
size on long stems. The colors range 
through shades of bronze-red with 
golden tips; very robust. Hardy peren- 
nial, Pkt., 15c.

dy perennial, Pkt., 10c; % oz., 25c.
