AFRICAN SPECIES 
Require spring planting, winter storage away from frost, just 
like the garden glads. Figures following name give approximate 
height in inches. Note that three of these have proven hardy 
here, but bloom about the same time when so treated. 
G. COOPERI! (Plateau Region) 60. Supposedly a variety of G. 
psittacinus, this generally bears additional side spikes and seems 
more resistant to disease. Flowers larger and more yellow, with 
sparse fine red lines. Rare. August. $2.00 each, limit. Seeds, 
50c pkt.
