orange, even at times with red approaches. Usually the blos- 
soms are zoned with a precisely serrated banding of red- 
brown or of blue-black. In the garden Gazania handles as

LOOKING FOR HOUSE PLANTS? Check through the 
kinds that have numerals 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 before the 
variety names. Practically all those marked “2” and ‘‘4” 
are suitable for pot culture in window or greenhouse, 
as are the majority of those marked “6” and ‘‘8’’, these 
latter two needing, though, larger pots, or even tubs. 
A few of the kinds marked ‘10’ also make good pot 
plants when young.
