ARCTOTIS GRANDIS-A remarkably hand- some new annual from Southwest Africa, growing luxuriantly and forming profusely branched bushes of about 2 to 2Vi feet in height and breadth. The leaves are soft and whitish. Its flower-heads, borne on long stems and rising well above the foliage, are large and showy, from 'l\'-< to 3 Inches across; the ray florets being pure white on the upper sur- face, are embellished by a narrow yellow zone at their base; reverse of petals pale lilac. Under the influence of bright sunlight the flowers spread out almost flat, and the pure while of the ray contrasts beautifully to the light blue disk 'with its slightly projecting white stamens, a lovely combi- nation of colors. Being of very eaay culture, the plants produce their splendid flowers most .abund- antly and in constant succession from early sum- mer to the autumn. Magnificent and prominent novelty. 20c.; 3 for ."JOc.
