PERENNIAL GAILIARDIAS.
The perennial galllardias produce a supply of yellow, and, crimson and yellow, flowers, which not only introduce a glorious touch of colour into house and garden, but last particularly well in water. A vase or bowl of these brilliant flowers lights up a dark hall or a sombrely, furnished dining room most effectively.
It is an interesting fact that many varieties how grown, some of which have quilled florets, some two rows of rare florets, , and others which are entirely double, have all been raised from gaillardia aristata and pulchella, natives of North America.
They are exceptionally hardy plants, growing about two feet high, which thrive in any soil, and are easily increased by division or by cuttings of the shoots issuing from the roots. Seeds may also be sown'-in heat in the spring, or out of doors in early summer.
