ftBUar90 By GAILLARDIA grandiflora. Gaillardias are among the most effective of hardy perennial plants; beginning to flower in June, they continue in bloom the entire season; they will thrive in almost any position or in any soil, but respond freely to liberal feeding ; being perfectly hardy they require absolutly no protection, taking care of themselves. The flowers are large, from 2y2 to 3% in. in diameter; they are produced on long stems and are excellent for cutting. The center is dark red brown, while the petals are variously marked with rings of brilliant scarlet crimson, orange and vermil- ion, and often a combination of all these colors in one flower. Strong clumps for im- mediate effect. 15 cts each; $1.50 per doz; $10.00 per 100. GYPS0PHILA paniculata (Babys Breath). A beautiful old-fashioned perennial, possessing a grace not found in any other perennial.
