every garden should know. An annual by courtesy, as 
quick from seed to bloom as any annual, but actually 
perennial, and hardy enough to live for years in most 
northern positions. Pkt. 15¢ (3 for 40c).

THE GAY GAZANIAS 
Here is continuous all-summer brightness for that dry, 
sunny spot. Foliage rosettes, green above, cottony below, 
are dominated by great daisies, wide-petaled, varying from 
lemon to richest, deepest orange, even at times with red 
approaches. Always they are zoned with a precisely serrated 
banding of red-brown or of a midnight blue-black. In the 
garden they may be handled as easy but vividly showy an- 
nuals. Actually they are quick-blooming, long-blooming 
tender perennials, and this fits them delightfully for win- 
dow culture or for greenhouse growing. Whether you sow 
them as annuals in the summer garden, or grow them as 
house plants, you are very sure to like them. erk(w)(8)9. 
Fine blend; includes new hybrids. Pkt. 15ce (3 for 40c).

for the foliage only, feathery banks of glistening, frosty, 
silvery leafage. It may be sown in position for edgings,

SATIN FLOWER 
Godetia, the Satin Flower, can be about as pleasant a 
thing as you will have in your garden, making a long 
showing of big and glistening brightly colored blossoms. 
That more gardens do not have it, is likely due to mis- 
understanding of its needs, and the greatest of these is early 
sowing. Sow it when you are planting Sweet Peas and you 
should have little difficulty with it. Color tones cover 
the pink, scarlet and salmon orange range, along with 
white, by itself or edging colored petalage. FINE SINGLE 
MIXED — 15 inches. Attractive. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c.
