DIMORPHOTHECA DOUBLE HYBRIDS MIXED 
It is indeed a pleasure to offer this new double strain in the very popular African Daisy group. 
Our presentation of this double crested novelty culminates years of Trial Ground selection and 
hybridization. We make bold to say, it will prove to be the most outstanding novelty for 1942. 
Our Double Hybrids Mixture range in color from a deep salmon orange to white—with many 
lemon and biscuit shades. A plant measures about 14 inches in diameter and grows 8 inches tall. 
Individual flowers average 1% inches and have a one-inch crested center. 
Unlike the ordinary Aurantiaca strains which have a comparatively short flowering period, 
our new Double Hybrids will stay in bloom twice as long—Jin fact they show color in our Trial 
Ground from the time they are a few inches high until we disk them under in the late Fall. We 
would class this double daisy as a half-hardy annual; and it is definitely a flower to withstand hot 
summer weather, as the species is a native of Africa. 
Each plant is a mass of flowers throughout the summer and all come in bloom quite early. A 
few of them scattered in a bed will add color to any garden. This new strain produces approximately 
65% double crested plants, with an additional percentage of semi-doubles. 
Seed of our Double Hybrids is similar to the African Daisies, and a pound will completely 
fill a 12x17 inch cotton bag.
