2 GAZANIA EVERBLOOMING 5 
GAZANIA HYBRID BLEND—k(w)(8)9. Here is all summer 
brightness that fears neither drought nor sun. Green foliage 
rosettes, cottony below, are dominated by flowers like big, 
short-stemmed daisies, perhaps mostly in the primrose to 
orange range, but creamy forms will appear, and others pink- 
toned to rose, along with splendid coppery reds. Usually the 
flowers are contrastingly banded with red-brown, darkest 
emerald, or blue-black. This tender perennial makes a superb, 
long-blooming pot plant, but it may also be grown as a sum- 
mer garden annual if started early. ‘“‘w’. GAZANIA HYBRID
