C. latifolium is the largest of the 

 Ox-eye Daisies, with fleshy, coarsely 

 serrated, broad leaves. The seeds have 

 large flower-heads, 3 in. to 4 in. across ; 

 a strong growing species requiring plenty 

 of room. Division and seeds. A number 

 of varieties of this and the following 

 species have been raised which have value 

 as border plants and for cutting. 



C. maximum.— The leaves of C. maxi- 

 muDi are bluntly serrated, stems more 

 or less branched, each carrying a single 

 white flower, leafless towards the flower- 

 heads, the involucre flattish, composed 

 of numerous narrow bracts. This vigor- 

 ous plant has broken into a number 

 of varieties of recent years, some with 

 thread-like petals, others with larger 



flowers, and some again with waved 

 petals ; most of them are worth grow- 

 ing, but being very vigorous should 

 not be planted near to delicate or fragile 

 plants. Maritime Alps. 



C. Zawadskii, of tufted habit, bears 

 numerous rose-tinted flowers all through 

 the summer months. — D.K. 



C. segetum {Com Marigold).—^ showy 

 yellow native plant, as worthy of cultiva- 

 tion as many an exotic, and in certain 

 cases worth growing for cutting. Treat as 

 a hardy annual, preferring autumn sowing, 

 though it may be sown in spring also. 



Chrysobactron Hookeri. See Anther- 



ICUiM. 



Chrysurus. See Lamarckia. 



CICHOEIUM {Chicory).—^ pretty 

 native plant, from 2 to 5 ft. \i\%\\,C.Intybus, 

 bearing in summer and autumn handsome 

 blue flowers. It is worth introducing as a 

 wild plant into localities where it is not 

 common. It is a rampant grower, and will 

 take care of itself even in arable crops, 

 but it dislikes heavy and cold soils. The 

 seed may be sown on rubbish heaps 

 and in stony places, old quarries, and 

 by roadsides.
