Gaillardias are popular and worthy garden plants. There are two types, âthe annual forms, which are derived from 6. piilchella and G. amhljiodon, chiefly from the former; and the perennials, which issue from G. aris- lata. The species are variable and confusing. Amongst hardy perennial plants, Gaillardias are conspicuous for profusion and duration of (lowers. A constant succession is produced all summer until very late in autumn. They produce a most gorgeous effect in beds or borders. Moreover, they are highly recom- mendable for cut-flower purposes, as they last for a long time in water, and can be gathered with ample, self-sup- porting stems. They thrive best in light, open, well drained soil, and should have the full benefit of air and sun. In heavier or in moisture- retaining ground the plants are often winter-killed. The perennial forms are propa- gated by division, seeds or cuttings in August or Septem- ber; also by root cuttings in early spring. Seedlings do 886. Gaillardi luce the parent ; therefore, if we are in pos- an extra good variety, we must resort to modes of propagation, though for general purposes we may rely on seed sowing, as this involves less labor, but the cuttings make the better pl
