NEW HYBRID SINGLE GERBERAS 
These single Gerberas, or Transvaal Daisies, have a grace and charm all 
their own, as garden clumps or as cut flowers. We have developed

and color range. Very long, graceful petals surround the center disc, 
which is small and often of contrasting shade. The color range in- 
f cludes rich crimson, deep rose, scarlet and orange, and delicate 
pastel shades of cream, yellow, pink, salmon and white.
