A remarkably handsome annual from Southwest Africa. It forms much-branched bushes 2 to .' feet high; its flowers are large and showy, being pure white on the upper surface, the reverse of petals pale lilac-blue. There are few annual flowers grown in the garden more valuable for cut flower work than the Arctotis. It is easily grown from seed and may be started in hotbed, in the house, or in the open ground, the seed germinating in about five days, and the plants may be expected to come into bloom early in July and con- tinue until quite hard frost. It delights in a sunny situation. As a cut flower it is especially valuable, the blooms lasting a week or ten days in water, and if undeveloped buds are cut and placed in a sunny window every one will open and produce as fine flowers as though left on the plant. \ oz., 30 cts. ArgemOne (Mexican or Prickly Poppy) 1220 Hybrida Grandiflora. Sturdy bushes 2 to 3 feet high, with very ornamental pale green, spiny foliage, with clear silvery midrib and veins and poppy-like flowers of satiny texture, over 3 inches across, in various shades from rich yellow to creamy-white. It comes into bloom early in July and continues without inter- ruption till November. It is best to sow the seed where they are intended to bloom as soon as the ground is warm, and should have a sunny location, and prefers light soil. A very pretty and ornamental plant
